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.

Antique Lap Desk: American, Federal Period
This is an extremely rare American Made grain painted slope from the 1780-1800 Period. Almost all the slopes in this period were imported from England and just a few from France. It is all original including lock(no key) Handles, hinges, and finishes. The only contemporary component is the covering on the wiriting board which was carefully chosen to duplicate the original fabric which was disintegrated when we purchased this box some two years ago(a swath of the original material is include for comparison) The condition of the box is very interesting. It shows years of use and some of it hard use. Wood is worn to groves and polished sufaces by the passing of fingers. Ink stains substantial portions of the interior wood, grease stains are evident, penciled numbers are writen on the back of the writing boards. And, five receipts and notes dating ... morefrom 1866 to 1871 have been shellacked to the back of one of the writing boards. The notes refer to purchase of horse hardware and trips with wagons to various destinations indicating that this box at one time was owned by a teamster. Surely this was the property or a fairly well to do individual initially as were most of these artifacts when new. It appears that it transitioned over time to be a working box for a person who drove horses for a living. I am sure that if only it could talk it indeed would tell some interesting stories both about our post colonial period not to mention our Civil War period. All the brass are of the proper hand made varieties for the period and the basic material of the box is white pine. Suggesting a North Atlantic origin. One of a kind for the seriouse collector of slopes. Classic 19"X10"X7" measurements. NO BIDDER WITH ZERO FEEDBACK OR BELOW 90% FEEDBACK RATINGS MAY BID ON THIS ITEM.RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Fuk.rp*211fbc%3E-13dd8bd2c89-0x102-

Glass Inkwells, Working Key, Powered by Offered here for auction is an Antique Rosewood-Veneer Lap Desk(or"Writing Box" with an ornate mother-of-pearl& inlaid wood design on the top and edges. The original owner(1866-1936) was wheelchair-bound. So this desk was well used and loved. It has remained in the same family ever since. The box measures 15" wide, 10½" deep, and 5½" tall(I believe this is large for a writing box of this age) You must look at the photographs to appreciate the beauty of this piece! The top is adorn with delicate designs. Separated by thin strips of metal. Gold gilding, mother-of-pearl, and various shades of inlaid wood make up the floral/vine-like center and the borders around it. Even the ... moretop's edges feature a gold& mother-of-pearl star design. There is a diamond-shaped brass plate around the key hole; the original key is included and still works to lock& unlock the box! There is also an inlaid brass notch on the box's top to lift the lid with ease. Amazing craftsmanship! The box has a hinged lid and opens fully to reveal a rich purple velvet-covered inclined surface. The purple is now faded around the edges with age(as you can see in the photos) There are five cubbyholes. One of which is rectangular(with a lid) to accommodate pens/pencils; and four square cubbies perfectly sized for the two ink bottles(included, although one is missing the cap) as well as other writing supplies. Other features include a spacious storage area in the base for paper or small books This is opened by the pull of a green ribbon(now faded) And last(but not least) is a hard writing surface that flips down from the lid. This compartment has a small latch-mechanism to keep it shut when not in use. This box is made of a wood veneer. So there are areas with surface cracks, slight buckling, and minor chips(along the top edge) There is a 1" section in one of the inlaid bor

Antique 19th Century Sea Captains Lap Desk - Writing Desk - Inlay - Escucheons
Here for bid is a 19th century folding lap travel desk. I was told that this size of box was often used by sea captains saving room in there tight state rooms. Maybe just a theory not sure. I would consider this box desk in pretty good condition for its age and compared to others I have seen. However as you can see in the provided photos it is not perfect and has wear. Nicks, cracks and chips that one would expect to see in this old of a piece. It needs inkwell replacement so forth and so on. I have no key for this desk but they are easily found. Some of the brass or copper inlay has been tacked a few small pieces missing. This type of scowling inlay is very hard to find for they took a lot of skill and work to make I am sure. Overall this desk has a lot character and charm. The hinge is tight and closes correctly. There are several escutcheons ... morethat were with this desk which also leads to maritime. Please see photos fo you judgement of condition. This desk measures approx. 20 wide x 9&1/2 deep x 7 inches tall closed and 20 wide x 19& 1/2 deep and 5 inches tall open. It will be shipped carefully with love. Thanks for looking and good luck

ANTIQUE Late 1800's WOOD WRITING LAP DESK for TRAVEL w/ KEY Made in Spain

Gorgeous Antique Inlaid Writing Lap Desk
This is a fantastic old wooden lap desk with inlaid design on the top and the front. The lap desk measures 11 5/8" long x 8 3/8" wide x 5 1/8" high. The box is in antique used condition. The inlay is in very good shape. The box is done with veneer over wood. It looks like the little shield on the top and the piece around the key are done with gilding. It is worn as shown on the photos. The veneer is cracking a bit on the top front left corner and a bit on the side in the same area. There is a piece of veneer missing(about 1" long x 1/4" wide) Otherwise there are a few stress cracks in the veneer on the top. Generally the outside of the box is in good condition. On the inside of the box. There was probably velvet covering the wooden desk sections. The pieces are now loose as you can see in the photos because the fabric ... morewas once attaching the wooden pieces to the box. There is still one ink bottle left in the set, the other is missing. Please let me know if you have any questions about this great piece. From a non-smoking home. Thank you.

Antique Walnut Gold Embossed Leather Top Dovetailed Lap Desk
This is an Antique Gold Embossed Leather Top Lap Desk. The wood has a beautiful patina. It appears to me that the top frame of the desk is walnut and the secondary woods of the side and back panels is pine. The back corners have beautiful hand cut dovetails as seen in a pair of closeup photos. That attest to the age and hand made nature of this piece. The desk was purchased in England. And we are pretty confident it was made there as well. We do not know the age specifically but we are pretty confident it is a 19th Century or older piece. The total size of the desktop frame is 18 3/4" x 13 3/4" The leather clad writing surface is 15" x 10" The height at the back corner is 3" Transitioning very slightly higher at the edges transition to the upper surface. The three sided framed out support measures 17 1/2" x 12 ... more1/4" The desk weighs 3 1/2 pounds and it is a substantial, solid piece. You can see the construction in the photo of the underside and the two photos of the dovetails. The three panels are attached with screws. There are some remnants of some sort of paper covering on the bottom as seen. I do not know what this was from. With the warm glow of the walnut. The beautiful leather, and the great hand cut dovetails, this fine desk would be a wonderful addition to your home for decor and/or actual use! Condition Overall. The desk is in excellent overall condition. The walnut top has a beautiful patina with dings and wear consistent with its age and use. The leather top has a couple very minor scratches that the photo flash highlighted making them more apparent than they actually are. The top is firmly and uniformly glued to the wood. In some of the photos, you can see some slightly wavy appearance that is an artifact of the original creation of the piece, but we will guarantee your satisfaction that the writing surface is as you would expect it to be. There is perhaps a little very, very minor wear on the gold. This is a wonderful desk in great antique condition and we will 100%

Antique Early 19th C Brass Mahogany Lap Desk w/Heffer Docs Fnd In Hidden Drawers
Another unique item from Indelible Curiosities Antique Early 19th C Brass Mahogany Lap Desk w/Hoffer Docs Fnd In Hidden Drawers Description: This lap desk contains no ordinary so-called"hidden" drawers! We purchased this at an auction only to discover when we brought it home that this mahogany with brass inlay lap desk has a hidden locking mechanism which when released springs a thin board off the inside of the desk revealing two small drawers. Like something out of a treasure hunter's dream. The hunt did not end there for when we opened the drawers we found- no, not gold coins(darn it) but several folded documents all from the early 1800s! There are four papers in total. One of which is the original instructions for opening the secret compartment, the other three are all related to one person, Selina Hoffer a.k.a. Selina James ... moreand later as Selina Hall(the latter two are her married names) Two are her original marriage certificates dated 1825 and 1834 and the third is a less formal all handwritten original document stating who, where, and when(August 26, 1794) Selina was baptized. We have scanned these separately into one pdf file and will include the original documents as well as print-outs for the buyer(happy to provide the pdf files as well) Please note the last image is of all four scanned images of the papers but combined using Adobe Photoshop into one image- this is not representative of our scanned pdf files as we did those scanning each paper separately. We will include the objects we found in the two inkwells: orange pellets which are possibly ink pellets intended to be dissolved in water and a broken into two pieces red hard somewhat flat rectangular object with what appears to be some black ink on it- possibly also dissolves or is meant for mixing ink. Condition: No key. The desk still has its original ink wells; however. The top of one of the inkwells is missing and the other fits but does not fit securely. Interior is a gorgeous purple velvet with a decorative pressed border. The velvet

Antique Mahogany Lap (Travel) Desk - ca. 1800 - w/secret drawer,ink bottle,more
Here pictured is an antique mahogany lap desk. Circa 1800. Probably English. Measures approx. 20" across x 10" wide x 6" high(closed) No key. Several compartments. Ink bottle intact but top of neck is jagged(see photo#6) Photo#4 shows a secret drawer on one side only accessed by removing the metal dowel pictured on the felt. If the desk were closed and locked the drawer would be inaccessible. The ledge on the far back of the top surface is removable as are the lids of the middle small compartment and the compartment to its far right. I believe the metal parts are brass and the knob on the middle compartment is bone of some sort. There are ink stains on one of the lower compartments(see photo#8) The wood bottom of the'secret' drawer is split. And the felt. Which seems original, is split(approx. one(1) inch) along the ... morecentral seam. There is also a'divot' approx. one(1) inch on the upper felt(zoom on photo#2 right margin) Photo#10 shows the bottom of the piece with the card of an English antiques dealer in Edgefield, SC of long-standing repute and the original price paid($325) some decades ago. All in all this is an exquisite, ingeniously-designed, well-crafted item.in first-class condition for its age. Will ship insured. Thank you.

Handmade Inlay Antique Lap Desk by John P. Seidel in 1852, Philadelphia, PA
This is a one-of-a-kind handmade Antique Lap Desk. One of my favorite things that I have ever owned. I hope that someone finds it that appreciates the work that went into making something like this in the 1800's or better yet if the maker's descendants could find it. It measures 15.5" in length. 6" tall and 10" deep. It has thousands of tiny pieces of wood inlayed to create a beautiful scene which I believe may be from Germany. When you open the top it lays all the way back reveling the leather writing area. It has storage compartments in the top and bottom halves. It comes with two ink bottles. Under the section where you keep the pen is a secret compartment. Underneath the pen compartment is where the maker has recorded his name and date. I have put the maximum amount of pictures allowed but if you want more just ... moresend me your e-mail and tell me what you like to see more of. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. I will be honest and tell you what I can but unfortunately I don't know any more about it's history than what I have told you already. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS I will be happy to ship internationally but you are 100% responsible for paying any import taxes or customs fees to get it delivered to you. I will not put a false value on the customs form because I insure my items for purchase price to protect myself. I will ship your item immediately upon receipt of payment which is expected within 3 days. Thanks for your interest.Have a lovely day! Susan

Antique Walnut Lap Writing Desk Brass Inlay Drawer 1800s Old Inkwell Period
Just found at an estate sale here in Boston a really really nice and completely original American Federal 1820s writing desk with side drawer. Nice Period inkwells. Amazing condition for being almost 200 years old. Nice period piece and very hard to find. All of the hinges are strong including the writing compartments. Nice ivory inlay on the skeleton key face and a wonderful lock mechanism. I've been told this is military because of all of the brass reinforcements. I think it still could be a desk for very wealthy individuals. the very long drawer pulls out smoothly and on very solid condition. Great dove tailing and nice chamfered areas on the drawers backside. Both ends have a drawer handle but only one opens it up. The writing surface blotter board looks original. A little veneer loss on left inside edge. The top of the desk has areas ... morewhere the wood curves down then up. Not that noticeable. Dimensions are 21 1/2 long x 11 deep x 7 high. Opened up it is 22 inches deep. Please write me at anytime with questions or for more pictures. As usual.No Reserve. Have a great week. g.RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Fuk%601d72f%2Bjw%60hquvg%3Eg-146b3c3df19-0x114-

Antique Walnut Lap Campaign Desk Brass Inlay Late-1800s? Secret Compartment
Antique Walnut Lap Campaign Desk with Brass Inlay Mid to Late 1800s? Secret Compartment Here is a great Antique Lap Writing Desk for your buying consideration. The last owner appears to have been an Elizabeth M Updike. Recently acquired it at an estate sale. Would make a great gift or keep it for yourself. The lap desk is probably English made. But that is just a guess, you be the judge. F or your consideration is this walnut antique lap desk in very nice condition. The walnut case has a great luster to it. What makes this piece really unique is the secret slide drawer compartment. It can be opened by opening the case and then taking the brass rod out of the left side of the box that"locks" it in place. The previous owner was an Elizabeth M Updike from Princeton NY. The famous writer. John Updike, had a daughter named Elizabeth, ... morebut correspondence is too old to have been hers. Possibly and earlier family member as John was born in 1932. There are some wedding invitations from the early 1900s in this drawer, a letter that has Princeton 66 on it. Not sure if year, for 1966 or means something else. There is a letter to a Mr. E. M. Updike in the drawer as well from a Turnbull that accompanied a Liberty Bond Medal for WWI efforts in gather funds for the war effort(Princeton NJ Victory Liberty Loan Committee) It probably meant Mrs. but you know the government, they can't even get the sex of a party right in correspondence, eh? Another piece of paper with genealogical information on it talking about Updike's grandfather Samuel Montgomery(1816-1878) married to a Matilda Stockton. Also a mention of a Samuel Updike and his children in this same piece. Also correspondence to Elizabeth Updike in 1927 from Wm Ball& Sons in West Chester. PA. Price lists and pictures of hardware which me thinks was probably to address the missing handle on the one side of the lap desk. Here is the obituary of the Elizabeth Updike I think may be the one on the correspondence in the desk. Even though it says middle initial S
