GREAT ENGLISH MAHOGANY LAP DESK & ACCESSORIES c1840
Please scroll down the page to see additional photographs of this item. GREAT ENGLISH MAHOGANY LAP DESK& ACCESSORIES c1840 Presented is a wonderful antique lap desk. The lap desk is made of a wood. Probably mahogany. It is reinforced with brass corners and has an escutcheon around the keyhole. The writing surface is covered with purple velvet. At one time the velvet would have been tight and functioned as a hinge for the cover of the storage compartment underneath, as is typical on all lap desks. It would be quite easy to replace the velvet with almost any other material, and a nice piece of leather, a piece of felt, velvet or almost any fabric. There are smaller compartments for writing utensils and ink bottles. The desk contains two old glass ink bottles. A pencil, and two other writing implements. The top of the box is engraved E. ... moreA. Dustin on an inset brass plaque. The box was probably made in England certainly around 1840. The felt lining on the lower part of the box which serves as a hinge for the storage compartment below is loose and torn. It needs to be replaced for the hinge to function properly. One of the inkwells is missing a lid. There has been some shrinkage or expansion of the wood on the top edge of the box. This is especially noticeable where the two brass corners on the top edge attached to the box. Please see photos. The box is very strong and secure. Nothing is loose. Otherwise. The box is in great condition. The mahogany has a beautiful wood grain. The hinge is strong, and the box closes securely. I can find no repairs. The lap desk measures 16 inches by 9 1/4 inches by 4 1/4 inches. Good luck and bid with confidence. For the American Bidder Shipping fees apply as noted above. We will ship by UPS Ground. USPS Parcel Post or USPS First Class Mail. If you wish to ship via Registered Mail, Express Mail, Priority Mail, overnight, 2nd or 3rd day shipping it will cost extra.

Mahogany 19th C. Lap Desk Writing Table w/ Wood Inlay
Vintage 19th Century Lap Desk Writing Table with Wood Inlay For your consideration is this repairable 19th century antique lap desk made of mahogany. This would be a great project for any craftsman to complete! This beautiful lap desk has an intricate wooden inlay border on the top of the desk and wood inlay around the keyhole. There is no key. The purple writing surface is worn and needs replacement as it has separated across the middle which formerly held the two surfaces in place.

Minor scratches and cracks are visible. But these can be repaired resulting in a vintage masterpiece. This chest measures 15.25" x 10" x 7. There are brass ... morerecessed handles on the sides of the lap desk for easy carrying. There is also additional storage space under the ink well/writing utensil tray. But there are no ink wells. Buyer is encouraged to ask questions before committing to buy or bid. Our items come from our smoke-free shopped located on Main Street in historic downtown Wabasha. Minnesota.

Antique 19th Century Mahogany Lap Desk Writing Box
99 cent start with no reserve! This auction is for an antique lap desk dating from the late 1800's. In the closed position. It measures 12 1/4" long by 9" from front to back. It is 3 1/8" high in the back and slants down to 1 7/8" high in the front. It is in good structural condition but has several minor flaws which I will now describe in detail: There are areas where the finish is worn unevenly. Some light scratches, and other minor signs of wear. The felt material covering the writing surface is rough along the area where the lid folds down on the inside of the desk. There is some old tape on it there. There is a small sliver of wood chipped off the rim on the left side of the desk(See the last image where arrows are pointing this out) Part of the small felt strap that is used to pull up the writing surface is torn ... moreoff. Only a stub of it remains. The small interior lid that covers the pencil box inside has ink stains on it. There are a couple tiny screws missing from the hinges. But the hinges are fine and working well. There is no key for the locking mechanism. Most of those flaws which I just described are of the minor variety. It could stand to be refinished which would enhance the grain nicely. Or it could be enjoyed with the original finish just as it is. That's up to the winning bidder to decide. Before bidding. Please make sure to read the entire description and enlarge all the images. ec2.RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Fvo%7B%3Dd70f%2B%3Eec2-14ae139676a-0x117-
Antique Mahogany Table Top Writing/Slope Lap Desk Mid 1800's Large With Key
This beautiful mahogany sloped lap desk was purchased at an estate sale recently. It has been dated back to mid 19th century. When opened. It features 3- bird's eye maple veneered drawers. The middle drawer is actually a false face. With a hidden drawer behind it that slides out to the side. It does come with a workable key, and the lock appears to be the right period.

ANTIQUE / VINTAGE MAHOGANY TRAVELING WRITING LAP DESK BOX
This is a neat lap box writing desk my mom's had in the family for years(she's 86) We're not sure where it came from. It appears to be Mahogany wood. It is obviously used and other than dusting out the inside I haven't tried to clean or polish the wood. The felt on the bottom is well worn but the felt inside is not in too bad of shape. It is missing one screw for the inside lids and a couple of the ones there are loose. I do not have a key but it may just take a generic skeleton key. Box is 16" x 10" x 5 1/2" It weighs about 8 lbs. Please ask any questions before bidding. I will answer and/or send more pictures if needed. PayPal Payments accepted. I will combine shipping for any of my auctions- please wait for invoice if more than one won. thank you for looking.
