About the Item

Antique Regency Amboyna Mother-of-Pearl Inlaid Writing Slope, c.1830 A fine early 19th-century writing slope, veneered in richly figured amboyna burr and decorated with inlay of abalone, mother-of-pearl, ebony, and silver stringing. The lid is centred with a motif of a quill and letter, framed within a foliate and geometric border, symbolising correspondence. A diamond-shaped mother-of-pearl escutcheon is fitted to the front. The slope opens to reveal a purple velvet writing surface with wear consistent with age, fitted with compartments for inkwells and writing accessories. The interior is lined in golden satinwood or sycamore, with additional storage beneath the hinged writing panels. Green baize to the underside.
