Victorian Brass-Bound Burr Walnut Writing Slope with Secret Drawers
This handsome Victorian writing slope is a wonderful example of late 19th-century craftsmanship — beautifully made, richly grained and full of character.
Crafted from burr walnut, the box is finished with brass corner straps and bindings, giving it that classic campaign-style strength and elegance. Inside, it opens to reveal a freshly fitted gold-tooled leather skiver, a lift-out pen tray, a brass-topped inkwell, and two secret drawers cleverly concealed behind the main compartment.
The slope comes with its original working lock and key, adding a touch of proper period charm. It’s a practical and decorative antique — ideal for writing enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone who loves well-made Victorian pieces.
