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 box, lock and brass hinges or hardware are all original, the key was a later find which to my surprise works. It will not work with the original outer keyplate however. You will see someone obviously tried to open it with out the key. The outer top of the box is what is so impressive, marquetry or parquetry not sure or the proper term. whatever works. It's a nice old writing desk or maybe to you a decorative collectible box to display(which is exactly what I thought it was lol! Thanks for looking and email if you have any questions. listed as is.

There is a large painted peacock on a bough with peonies and a swallow flying nearby. There are also three pieces of ceramic. Painted and set in the lid of the box. One appears to have cherry blossoms painted on it, the second has mountains and a hut, and the third has a person in a boat.

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. We do not know how it occurs, therefore, it can't be mass-produced. This makes birds eye figured wood quite valuable. Please feel free to ask questions or request more photos. Posted with

Antique Lap Writing Desk Folding Oak Wood Bone Box Travel Portable Brass Hinges
For sale is this exquisite antique lap writing desk. It does have some condition issues. Which is why my opening bid is low for this type of quality. Someone re-lined the interior with green felt. Both interior wood surfaces are off their hinges, and it appears to be missing two slats by the ink well holders. However, this was really an upscale item for its time. Both wood surfaces inside the box have breadboard edges. I believe the material for the lock and top accent pieces is bone. They have been inlaid and pinned. The pinned brass corners were beautifully constructed. Has a little copper stop inside to hold the table down. Made of oak, it measures approx. 4 1/2" h x 12 3/4" w x 7 3/4" d.

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-
