Restorer's Dream! Antique Victorian Wooden Travel Lap Desk 1850-1900's. Here is a great old piece that needs to be restored by woodworker. Even ... moreif you did not what a neat piece of History but with restoration it would be fabulous. Measures: 14 3/4" Long. 10" Wide and 5 1/2" Tall As you can see from pictures it needs TLC Crack in top. Some wood missing off back and one of the Velvet lined covers has come detached from metal bracket. Couple of pieces of Mother of pearl inlay is missing but could be replaced. It does have key and does lock. Also the ink jar, wax sticks and instrument to hold them Also one piece of vintage paper seal. There are three Wood pieces. One to cover compartment and one longer piece that slides into an compartment. I do not know what the longer piece is used for but obviously it belongs with it. What a wonderful piece to restore and call your own. As is but will accept return if not satisfied. Thanks for Looking!

Antique New England Lap Table Desk
Up for auction here is a 19th century table lap desk. This piece was purchased from a prominent New England antiques dealer. They said the piece originated in Maine. The piece has square nails and a unique molding around the sides. I think the wood is pine but I'm not sure. There aren't any knots so I'm not sure. It has what I call the"pumpkin pine look. The piece is nice and sturdy. The inside has some shelving. I think the piece is just a nice early piece of Americana. It measures 16" wide; 17" deep. It's 8" tall at the front and 11" at the back. I put the shipping at $45. If it is less I will refund you the difference. Make a reasonable offer and it may be yours. Look at my feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks for looking.

We have a wonderful antique, Victorian era slant top lap ... moredesk which is on a stand. Inside of the desk is a panel that conceals two secret drawers for security while travelling. You never know when your stagecoach is going to be set upon by brigands or highwaymen! The wooden box, we think it is walnut, features brass hardware, as you can see in the photos, the lock, the inset on the cover, and straps around the corners, etc. The box measures approx. 13 ⅝" by 8 ¾" by 5 ¾" standing approx. 19 ¼" tall with the stand. When you open the desk. You can see the desk top panels are covered in a textured black paper with gold gilt trim. The finish of the wood has a wonderful glow to it, along with signs of age and use, such as surface scratches and little nicks, as well as mystery stains. We found an old hand written name on one of the wood pieces- T W Cox. We took photos of it, so that you can see for yourself. We believe that the stand is a later addition to the piece; the wood is not quite a match. Other things to note about the condition: One of the brass straps is beginning to come away from its location. You can see the wood in that area has a slight bulge with a break or crack beginning to s

Antique Wood Lap Desk with Secured Secret Bottom Drawer Lock with no Key
Antique Wood Lap Writing or Campaign Desk with Secured Secret Bottom Drawer Lock with no Key Here is a great Antique Lap Writing or Campaign Desk for your buying consideration. 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 beautiful antique lap desk in very nice condition. The wood is most likely walnut and it has a great luster to it. What makes this piece really unique is the secret slide drawer compartment at the bottom of the case. 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. My guess is this piece dates to the mid to late 1800s. You be the judge before buying. This lap desk is beautiful with ... moreonly small surface scratches. The corners are seamed togethers. A slice of veneer below the secret drawer is missing. Very nice wood and graining. The inside folding pieces are still all there as well. The hinges are all there. The top panel of the desk has come unglued and I have left it that way. I took the pics of the case with what I think was the inside of the case, but I think it looks better that way. So leaving top unglued, so that the next owner can decide which side they want showing. The lock and latch and the bone piece around the key hole are there, the case did not come with a key. The top of the inside of the desk has a green felt fabric on it which shows wear. The bone pull is on the secret drawer to pull it out. The desk has two brass handles to carry it by. Both sides of the lap desk open for storage. Has open areas for two ink bottles in the well areas. One on the left and one on the right. The bottom of the lap desk has felt that is coming off. The bottom of the case needs some re-gluing as well. The lap desk measures 13.25" wide. 5-5/8" tall and is 9-1/8" wide. Don't miss out on this unique item. The secret drawer is 8-7/8" wide. This

Antique Georgian Writing Box Lap Desk Chippendale Style Stand Brass Inlayed

I tried to picture these) I am not sure if the ink well is original but it had come with it 50 years ago. The owner Mr. Drew was the Vice President of the Milwaukee Journal Co. and my employer ... morelong ago. The desk itself did have a crack in the inner tray and I showed how it was repaired over 50 years ago. Also there are two cracks at the corners on the top. These were also there for over 50 years. The outside has tempered to a light golden color and the top has some stains. I have never tried to recondition it as to me it enhances the antique look of the piece.

Nice ANTIQUE 1827 AMERICAN TRAVELING LAP DESK Secret Compartment PROVENANCE NOTE
I will be listing a variety of nice estate-fresh Antique and Vintage Items this week. Here is a Great ANTIQUE MAHOGANY AND POPLAR WOOD TRAVELING LAP DESK with EARLY PROVENANCE NOTE FOUND HIDDEN INSIDE A SECRET COMPARTMENT INSIDE DESK which reads"Made by Thomas J. Luther. June 26. 1827 in the 70 year of his age. Witness John G. Hopkins" There is also another 19thC name written on the frame of the interior writing surface which looks like"Miss Lizzie Carlile" see photo) I would guess this to be an American Lap Desk since the secondary wood is made of a poplar wood. Desk box is 22"W x 11"D x 8-1/8"H. I was not able to identify who the names on the note and box are in my quick research. Since the note says Thomas Luther was 70 years old in 1827. Then he would have been born in 1757(or maybe 1756? I find it unusual ... morethat this maker's information was witnessed by another gentleman- I've never seen that before. Beautifully made early lap desk. Early square nail and dovetail construction. Lovely old patina to exterior mahogany surface. The desk has a working key for the exterior lock(you need to turn key to the left a bit hard to lock the desk. But will turn fine and lock and unlock the desk once you get past the sticking point) The desk also has a locking bottom drawer- you pull up the metal rod on inside of box to release the drawer. The desk has a secret triangular-shaped compartment underneath the center well- first you push down the outside end of the pen tray to lift out the tray, and then you lift out the partition wall to access the compartment. The Early-19thC provenance note was found rolled up inside this compartment. The brass hinges look like later replacements but function very well. Some chipping to edges of wood around the hinges. Also a chip off of wood on the rear side right corner of box. An aquaintance of mine nicely replaced the leather hinges behind the green felt on the interior of desk. Both ends of the writing surface have material loops for lifting the s

Antique Large Wood Lap Desk w/ Secret Bottom Drawer Brass Corner Pieces
Antique Large Wood Lap Writing or Campaign Desk w/ Secret Bottom Drawer Brass Corner Pieces Here is a great Antique Lap Writing or Campaign Desk for your buying consideration. 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 beautiful antique lap desk in very nice condition. The wood is most likely walnut and it has a great luster to it. What makes this piece really unique is the secret slide drawer compartment at the bottom of the case. 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(rod with it needs to have end taken off) My guess is this piece dates to the mid to late 1800s. You be the judge before ... morebuying. This lap desk is beautiful with only small surface scratches. The corners are seamed together. A slice of veneer alongside the secret drawer is missing. There are a number of veneer pieces that are loose and come with the case to be put back in to place. Very nice wood and graining. The inside folding pieces are still all there as well. The hinges are all there. The lock and latch are not with the case. The top of the inside of the desk has a green felt fabric on one side that is pretty worn and is missing on the other side. The desk has two brass handles to carry it by on the sides that are still in place. Top of the case shows some splitting of the wood from drying out on the right side. Rest of case looks pretty good. There was a knot in the wood in the back where the knot fell out sometime after the case was made. Chip out of the wood on the front right side just before the brass support piece. There was probably an insert of bone or brass on top of case where a piece of wood is now set in that place. The brass corner and support pieces on this case are all in place. They add a lot of elegance and character to the piece. The secret compartment drawer will not slide al

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.
