Terrier Antiques

Description

Here we have a splendid quality military campaign writing slope in Mahogany with detailed brass banding with multiple screws rather than the usual glue fixing, upon opening there is the original green leather writing slope with a fitted section above that housing an inkwell and a pounce pot, there is also a removable pen tray which when taken out reveals two brass candle sconces which fit together and slot in to the back of the slope to provide light when working, these are all original and in fine condition,  when the leather slope lock is opened it reveals a storage section with a hidden secret, hidden flush behind one of the brass carry handles is a small screw, when depressed it springs out a piece of wood housing a set of two fitted drawers with bone handles and a removable curved fitted sovereign tray with three carved bone sovereign holders, there is also a small amount of ephemera addressed to the Dean of Killaloe in Ireland.

This is a truly magnificent item and a big step above the average.
