Condition: Used Location: Charleston, United States This is a very nice traveling or slope lap desk. The wood type is unknown but it has the appearance of Rosewood or Mahogany. The top edge corners are ... moreinlaid and there is a silver-like shield in the top center. The desk has two original inkwells. A beveled ruler and key. The vintage is unknown but I would guess early 1900s. Hopefully, interested collectors will know the vintage better than I do. The condition is good with some flaws. There is a tight split in the lid. One piece of inlay is missing, the"keeper" on the writing surface is missing, and the ribbon to open the bottom writing surface is missing. Please refer to the photos for a complete description of condition. The camera captures the felt as blue, but my eyes tell me it is a purple color. I don't know much about writing desks so please ask any questions you may have. All the proceeds from this auction go to the South Park Historical Foundation, South Park City. Fairplay, Colorado.

This piece is from our Antique Shop in Massachusetts. Portable boxes for writing materials had existed for many centuries and in many cultures. However it was not until the last decades of the 18th century that the socio-economic circumstances in England necessitated the wide use of a portable desk in the form of a box which could be used on a table or on one's lap. Hence"Lap Desk" From the end of the 18th. To the end of the 19th century, the writing box featured prominently on military expeditions, travels, libraries and in drawing rooms. Great literature as well as dispatches, contracts, letters and postcards were written on its sloping surface. Both the traveling civilians and the army officers needed compact and strong writing boxes. Which could withstand the rough and tumble of strenuous journeys. This gave rise to the most popular type of 18th century writing box, the military style, or campaign box or travelers lap desk. Typical characteristics of writing boxes of the period: They are rectangular shaped with a flat surface. They are approximately eight to twenty inches long. Ten inches deep when closed and seven inches tall. They open up to a sloping writing surface consisting of two flaps with space under them for paper etc. When open to the writing position. There i
