Early Victorian Campaign Writing Slope In Burr Walnut With Ebony Interior, Mid 19th Century

Early Victorian campaign writing slope with Burr walnut and brass banded exterior with ebony and mahogany interior. Red leather skiver and working internal lock with key. Two ink wells (replacements) and working secret compartment containing three small drawers. Secret compartment has ingenious release mechanism that will have most people searching for ages - unless they have seen one before. Thee is also a full length external drawer that is securely locked by a brass pin only accessible from the inside of the slope. Campaign handles to each side.

Some historical repairs but retains the look and wear of a piece of campaign furniture that has really been on campaign.
