This auction is for an old lap desk. The lap desk has worn edges and has many nicks. Scraps, scratches and dings. Some of the gold paint around the box ... moreis missing too. There is a name and year written on the bottom of the desk, but it is very faint and can only be seen while hold the desk at a certain angle to the light. I tried to capture the writing in a picture, but could only get the first part of the name. The name stands out the most. The rest of the writing, I believe would be where the owner lived and the year is much fainter. It looks like Maggie C Farr(something) something) 1876 or 1896. The box measures about 11 ¼” x 7 3/4” x 3 ½” closed) Opened and lying flat the desk measures about 16” long.

Antique 19th C. Walnut Writing Lap Desk Slope Box Brass Inlay Scribe Wood
Hi. You are bidding on a large(a little under 9 inches by 14 inches by 5 inches) writing box. I do not usually sell these. And I do not know much about them, so I hope I am describing it correctly. It is walnut with brass inlays. It does not have a key but has a keyhole. It opens easily and I think it is in pretty good condition for age. I took the pictures with flash, but there is one picture without flash to show you how it might look in different light. It is definitely antique! It has not been refinished. It is in great condition for age. Thank you. g=0.RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Fuk.rp*60%600%3Eg%3D0-13dd9c8be26-0x104-

The desk measures 11.5"x 8" x 3.75" When open. It measures 16" across the entire surface. This would be a great addition to any collection! Bird's eye is a type of figured wood grain that occurs within several kinds of hard maple. It has a distinctive pattern that resembles tiny. Swirling eyes disrupting the smooth lines of grain. It is somewhat reminiscent of a burl, but it is quite different: the small knots that make the burl are missing. Thus the wood is stronger, with a beautiful depth to it.

antique, civil war era paymaster's lap desk/ box reinforced and brass inlayed
This is an item from my private box collection that I have collected over 40 years. This box was purchased in the Richmond Virginia area during a visit ca. 15 years ago. My collection grew out of proportion and I am forced to sell some of my larger possessions against my will. The dimensions of the paymaster's lap desk/ box are approx. 16 1/4" x 13 1/4" x 8" The lock came with the box and seems to be original from the same time period. It weighs 13 1/5 Lbs. It appears that the box was not refinished and shows a great patina. I have only used"Old English" to keep it clean and to give it the luster to look great. Please see photos for details and ask questions before bidding. Thanks for the interest. We do NOT ship to Eastern Europe. Italy and Greece. Please inquire before bidding if not located in US or Canada.

Lovely Antique Wooden Travel Slant top Lap Desk
Although I don't know a whole lot about this. I can tell you I purchased it at a local estate auction. The auction contained many home library type items, such as books and pen sets and chairs and shelving from a very distinguished home library. This is a lovely old slant top lap desk. It may be handmade, it is in very sturdy condition. The top has an old scenic picture on it. The inside has little compartments for organizing paper clips or stamps etc. It is 9 1/4 x 12 1/4 and just over 2" high at the one end and almost 3 1/2 high at the top of the slant. Hinged top and felt inside and on the bottom. Lovely! I have 4 different antique lap desks and can only use one so I am slowly deciding which to sell! Keep watching for more! 0fe.RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Fuk%601d70f%2B%3E0fe-146bf327aeb-0x108-

NICE ANTIQUE WOOD & BRASS LAP DESK MID 1800s
Please scroll down the page to see additional photographs of this item. NICE ANTIQUE WOOD& BRASS LAP DESK MID 1800s Presented is a great antique lap desk. The lap desk is made out of wood with brass corners and reinforcing side brackets. A brass plaque on the top, and a brass escutcheon around the key hole. The wood on both the interior and the exterior is quite attractive. The interior has a leather writing surface. The leather is missing from the underside of the lid, so the writing surface no longer extends across the entire opened desk as it originally would have. Also, the leather on the bottom half of the desk has worn through where it meets the wood, so the leather no longer serves as a hinge for the cover of the storage compartment underneath. The cover simply lifts off. The desk has a wooden pen tray in front that lifts to reveal ... moreanother storage compartment. The slot on one side of the pen tray holds a glass inkwell. Lifting up the side divider closest to the front left corner causes a secrent panel to pop out, revealing two hidden drawers. The perfect place to hide your bon bons. This piece was almost certainly made in England. The lap desk was probably made around the mid 1800s. Probably the 1840s to the 1860s. The desk is in fair condition. Part of the leather on the interior of the desk is missing and the rest of the leather is worn through as described above. It is not that difficult to replace the leather if so desired. There has been some shrinkage and expansion to the wood on the box. The brass corners no longer fit as tightly as they once did. Some of the brass line inlay around the top center plaque and the keyhole is missing. There is some slight veneer loss at various spots. The entire and exterior. But especially the top surface, could be cleaned. The box itself is strong and secure. The hinge is working well. There are no repairs. The lap desk measures 9 1/2 inches by 15 3/4 inches and is 6 3/4 inches tall. Good luck and bid with confidence. For the American Bidder Shipping fees apply a
