Object Description
A very good Regency Period Rosewood and Brass Inlaid Campaign Writing Slope with a rising section containing four drawers with lion’s head ring handles and leather lined slopes. When first opened the rising section is just visible but secured with two sliding bolts. This can be raised and is supported by sprung side flaps and once the superior slope is opened this reveals a false platform which can be removed to reveal a further void and the spring loaded fascia can be released by inserting a pin into the hole on the r.h. corner just above the false platform. This reveals three further small drawers and the box has inset brass carrying handles to the sides.
