About the Item
A scarce Victorian campaign military artist's watercolour box by the famous Reeves
Sons of 113 Cheapside, London. War department stamps, along with the initial 'I', believed to stand for 'India'. Mid-late 19th century.
The broad arrow with the initial I appears on the brass cartouche, the lock, four glazed pottery dishes in the drawer and the tin box.
Made of mahogany, with handmade dovetail construction to the sides. The box has brass corners and strap work, and a flush inlaid brass handle to the lower drawer. It retains the original key to the brass lock by Hamilton
Co, which is in working order. The lock is stamped, 'Eccentric lever lock Maker to the Royal Mint Hamilton
Co.'
The beautifully proportioned box opens to reveals an oval gilt maker's label to the interior of the lid. There is another maker's paper label under the pen slope. The box is filled with artist's equipment, including paint blocks, pencils and other items. There is a pin to the front, which when removed enables the bottom drawer to be opened. This drawer is fitted with four glazed pottery dishes, and filled with more artist's materials. Please refer to the photographs for extensive images of the interior.
The box is in original used condition. The lid opens and closes well, as does the drawer. There are signs of use, marks and knocks, from a well used box. There is some filler to the right hand dovetail construction to note.

19th Century Victorian Writing Slope/ Travel Desk Box, Brass Bound, UK ca. 1815
Located in Lichtenberg, AT
Impressive Victorian writing slope or travel desk - attributed to the famous company of Thompson - from the period around 1800 - 1815 in the United Kingdom. This fantastic Captain’s campaign writing slope dates back to the Napoleonic wars. Well constructed out of solid mahogany with screwed down mount re-enforcements, brass banding, and inset carrying handles at each end, this outstanding travel desk box was designed to withstand the harsh maritime life at sea. The exterior of this Victorian travel box shows an attractive mahogany grain, beautiful colour, and a lovely pleasing patina. There are a couple of old indented scars to the lid along with the usual minor surface scratching, but these imperfections confer it an absolutely unique charme. The box has a tri-fold operation, opening to reveal a secondary smaller writing surface for quick use, then opening again to reveal the main slope fitted with a green felt writing surface which is in reasonable condition and compliments the original interior. When it is completely opened you have two storage compartments underneath. The original lock works smoothly with the original key. The original interior is nicely fitted out with a dark green leather drop-down section in the lid which features four memoire pockets. This section can additionally be lowered to reveal a document wallet...
