This piece is from our Antique Shop in Massachusetts. Portable boxes for writing materials had existed for many ... morecenturies 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. Both the traveling civilians and the army officers needed compact and strong writing boxes. Which could withstand the rough and tumble of strenuous journeys. This gave rise to the most popular type of 18th century writing box, the military style, or campaign box or travelers lap desk. Typical characteristics of writing boxes of the period: They are rectangular shaped with a flat surface. They are approximately eight to twenty inches long. Ten inches deep when closed and seven inches tall. They open up to a sloping writing surface consisting of two flaps with space under them for paper etc. When open to the writing position. There i

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. Shipping is $16.95 across US connecting states. g63.RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Feog4d71f%2B%3Eg63-148d58bc6ec-0x115-

Antique Walnut or Chestnut Lap Desk with Pine Bottom Panel Probably USA-made

Antique Early 1800s Britannia & Neptune Inlaid Ships Officers ? Lap Desk
This is an old Inlaid Lap Desk with a well warn inlay of Britannia& Neptune I believe it could quite possibly be a ships officer desk but I have no real way of knowing it just seems fit. This desk is well used and has splits in the inlay and some lifting but it is still very cool. It still has what looks like the original sticker inside. This desk still has it's little inkwell with cork stopper. It is by far not perfect but it is an old original lap desk! And the fact that it has Britannia& Neptune leads me to believe it may possibly have owned by someone on a ship.I also believe this box is very early 1800s or could quite possibly be late 1700s but that also is a guess. It is 4" tall 13 1/2" by 12" and it weighs 4.11.5 pounds. Thank you for your interest! All Items will be shipped within a 48 hour after payment ... moreis received on account cleared!

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 English Brass Bound Coromandel Writing Slope / Lap Desk c1860
Antique English Brass Bound Coromandel Writing Slope/ Lap Desk c1860 A handsome military or campaign style writing slope. Beautifully brass bound around all the edges and brass straps running across the top and down the front. There is a brass inlaid plaque. Either side has a heavy cast military flush handle, there is a drawer running the width of the box accessed from one side but has to be released from the inside by removing the brass pin; this ensures the drawer can't be opened when the box is locked up. The box opens to form a writing slope sometimes known as a lap desk, this would certainly not be put on one's lap as the size and weight is prohibitive. The black leather has gold tooling, both sides opening to reveal large compartments underneath for papers and the like. The top section has a lock with working key. The top section ... morealso has a bank of three secret drawers operated pulling the divider between the right hand side inkwell and the sloped pen nib compartment. The box comes with two fabulous period inkwells. All in all a really good writing box in excellent condition, complete with the two keys. Certainly a show-stopper measuring 19 3/4" x 11" x 8 1/4" while closed.
