Antique Portable Folding Laptop Writing Desk
Beautifully crafted hardwood folding desk. Embellished on the cover with a bronze medallion and bronze corner protectors, and on base with bronze side corner strip brackets. The desk is made of an unusual hardwood, adding a dramatic, intense, bold and colorful element. The box opens to reveal an inclined writing surface of black cloth with decorative gold edgings. And open trays for ink well and pens at the top. Writing surfaces can be removed to expose storage areas below for writing supplies and old letters, The desk has experienced considerable wear. As can be seen in the photos; but since all the wood components are in excellent condition, intact, and, unworn,and all brasses are present(except for keyhole medallion) it offers a opportunity for a collector/craftsman/restorer to refurbish the worn parts of this handsome piece, returning ... moreit to its original handsome condition. Closed. The box measures 8-1/2" x 10-1/4" x 4-1/2" and opens to a full size of 10-1/4" x 17" it weighs a scad over 3 pounds. The key has long since disappeared. Note: in top view. Some very dark wood grains run across, above the medallion, give the illusion of maybe two big cracks; they are NOT cracks, just some striking, nearly black, natural graining. See proof in the last picture, where grains of salt run across the dark streaks, without falling into any cracks. The top and front are dramatically beautiful pieces of wood with bold. Eye-catching dark-streaked graining, completely intact and undamaged. Asking 75.00 OBO; Free shipping.

Antique 1830's-1870's English Laptop Writing Desk, Inlaid Abalone, Portable
Antique 1830's-1870's English Laptop Writing Desk. Inlaid Abalone, Portable Up for bid is a gorgeous antique writing desk. It is a laptop style writing desk. We took it to our most knowledgeable antique expert here in Sacramento. He told us that it was made between 1830 to 1870. But most likely around 1830. He says that it was English made. It is made of Burl Walnut on the outside and faux Rose wood painted on the inside. The lid has a brass plaque in the center and the name Miriam is engraved in it. There is several types of shell and in between all of the different woods on the lid there is brass inlay. The writing surface is the original velvet, you can still even see a pretty border painted on the velvet. It could be replaced easily if you want, we like it like it is. It has a spot for an inkwell and a spot for a sanding pounce. ... moreIt also has a spot for the pen to lay in and in the center there is a spot to store accessories. It does have a small piece of wood missing by the sanding pounce spot, doesn't detract from the look or function. On the underside of the lid, it has a latch to bring down the writing surface to store papers and such in. The lower part of the writing surface lifts up for more storage. It does have some condition issues, a couple pieces of abalone are missing, along with the white material. There are a couple of chips to the burl walnut and a couple of minor cracks of the burl walnut. It is beautiful and we decided not to fix any of the issues. We think it shows the character of the piece. It came out of an estate from San Francisco. It measures 13" x 9" x 5" high. It would make a wonderful Christmas or Hanukkah gift! Please read the listing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We will discount shipping on multiple purchases, contact us if you would like a quote. Payment is due within 3 days after close of auction. All payments from international bidders must be made with Paypal and must be in US dollars. Please don't bid if you don't inten

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.
