Georgian Brass Bound Writing Box
This is a super quality and unusual Georgian writing box with its original slope baton and original two part blue velvet writing slope, all in good condition. Circa 1810
Very decorative box and beautifully made as you would expect of a box from this superior writing box period!
The centre brass plaque is not engraved, so it is blank.
Original main lock for the box with key, in working order. A replacement lock has been fitted at some point to the internal slope.
Original locking pin for the hidden side drawer.
Four hidden secret drawers located and accessed under the ink wells, accessed by pressing down the righthand side well.
Original pen try and also the lid to the left is original.
You can see the underside of the lower slope is missing its cross ribbons for card storage, but this could be replaced if required.
Importantly, the slope baton is there. When not in use, it locates into the lower slope and fits perfectly into the outer brass holes on the slope as a book rest...very often these are missing or not original.
Super quality and a good proportion, whether you are looking at this as a decor piece or perhaps functional to store your ipad, this is certainly one of the better boxes available.
Hopefully the photos will do it justice!
Measuring:
7 3/4'' or 19.5cm high
19 3/4'' or 50cm wide
10 1/2'' or 27cm deep
Delivery can be by fully insured courier, or depending on where you are, I can bring it to you, or you may prefer to collect Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!
Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!
I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!
Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.
All of my items are antique and will therefore, have some signs of age and use, but I restore everything necessary and you will receive a good quality piece that is well represented in my photographs...no problem to send you more info or photos of any item you would like, just let me know.
In the very unlikely event you would like to return your item, this is no problem, but you must use a fully insured delivery firm. All transport costs are your own responsibility, as per standard
Any queries, just give me a call or email anytime!
