This solid wood lap desk was made to hold up to heavy use. Probably for a Military Officer. A Traveling Official, or a Businessman that required a durable ... moreportable desk. Closed it measured 15 in. by 10 in. and 6 in. high. When opened it had a 13 ½ in. 5 ¾ in. writing surface and with another flip of the top would become a 13 ½ in. by 13 ½ in. surface. Made with solid Mahogany using hand cut dovetailed joints, it has Brass Handles recessed into the sides. Overall condition is good with wood patches in the back and along the inside edge. At some time in the past the felt was replaced and the leather hinges on the interior compartments are torn with the felt now supporting the writing surface. The top has a tight age crack, the felt has a tiny hole, and the old finish shows marks, scuffs, and fine scratches. It is sturdy and ready for use. Please look at the photos and email any questions. I am selling with no reserve and guarantee it to be old and as described. Flat shipping fee is for the lower 48 states. Includes insurance, and reflects the heavy weight. I will refund anything above actual shipping cost. Email your zip code for Alaska and Hawaii shipping cost. No international shipping. Local pickup is also available. Payment is requested within two days of sale unless other arrangements are made.

Antique Victorian 14 Inch Lap Desk
This auction contains an antique Victorian lap desk. I am not sure of the type of wood it is. But my best guess is that it is either mahogany or cherry wood. Overall, considering its age, it is in a beautiful condition, except that there has been one small repair on the upper left hand lid and there is a definitive hairline crack on the top front where they curved the wood to meet the flat top of the top. The inside appears to have the original purple felt and there are two original ink bottles in the front part. It measures approximately 14 x 9 x 6. Also note the mother of pearl on top and the two beautiful designs. Please take a close look at the pictures to determine if this is the condition you want. Buyer pays shipping and handling according to weight and state.

An antique lap desk with a bird design using mother of pearl inlay measuring approximately 5" tall. 12-7/8" wide, and 9-1/8" deep.

Antique Large Wood Lap Desk w/ Secret Bottom Drawer Brass Corner Pieces
Antique Large Wood Lap Writing or Campaign Desk w/ Secret Bottom Drawer Brass Corner Pieces Here is a great Antique Lap Writing or Campaign Desk for your buying consideration. Recently acquired it at an estate sale. Would make a great gift or keep it for yourself! The lap desk is probably English made. But that is just a guess, you be the judge. F or your consideration is this beautiful antique lap desk in very nice condition. The wood is most likely walnut and it has a great luster to it. What makes this piece really unique is the secret slide drawer compartment at the bottom of the case. It can be opened by opening the case and then taking the brass rod out of the left side of the box that"locks" it in place(rod with it needs to have end taken off) My guess is this piece dates to the mid to late 1800s.

The hinges are all there. The lock and latch are not with the case. The top of the inside of the desk has a green felt fabric on one side that is pretty worn and is missing on the other side. The desk has two brass handles to carry it by on the sides that are still in place. Top of the case shows some splitting of the wood from drying out on the right side. Rest of case looks pretty good. There was a knot in the wood in the back where the knot fell out sometime after the case was made. Chip out of the wood on the front right side just before the brass support piece. There was probably an insert of bone or brass on top of case where a piece of wood is now set in that place. The brass corner and support pieces on this case are all in place. They add a lot of elegance and character to the piece. The secret compartment drawer will not slide al

It is missing covers and dividers to the compartments, we feel the velvet may not be the original, it has age but does not seem as old as the piece perhaps, The lock mechanism is missing. None the less a beautiful example of an antique lap desk worthy of a little repair with the pieces inside in photo 6.

Antique Travel Walnut ? Wooden Writing Lap Field Stationary Portable Desk Box
Antique Portable Travel Writing Lap Desk with bun feet. This piece was purchased at an estate sale in the Washington DC area. Desk measures approx. 17" long x 9 deep x 14" tall. There are several compartments and drawers. The drawers are all hand dovetailed. Front and back sides. There are the 2 hidden compartments that come out, but look as though they are stationery columns. My guess is that the brass hardware is original. The finish may not be original. The wood may be walnut, not sure though. There are some nicks, surface scratches and signs of aging, all of which I consider age appropriate wear. A little bit of veneer damage, some stress cracks(some are natural in the wood) and inside has some slight warping. There is no key. I love this piece but have nowhere to display it in my home. Please ask questions as I do not accept ... morereturns. Thank you Bidder to pay $75.00 fed ex ground shipping.

1800's Primitive Wood Ship Captains WRITING LAP DESK for restoration or parts
Offered for sale is this early to mid 1800's wood lap writing desk for restoration in poor overall condition. It has a real primitive look to it and would be a great piece if restored.

The lock and handles are missing and there is a loose board that needs to be re-glued under the small compartments. There is wear on the felt surface and the edges of the wood. It is a little unusual in the sense that it has a"lift top" panel that comes off as the pictures show. The box measures about 17" long by 10 1/2" deep by 7" tall. The desk has a great old antique look to it and could be a really fine looking desk with a little work.
