About the Item
This solid mahogany travel desk is a fine piece of English manufacture from the late 19th century. Made with high quality mahogany wood, it has an elegant and refined appearance. The interior of the desk is carefully divided into compartments for letters, an inkwell bottle and small drawers for pens. This attention to detail and practicality makes this desk perfect for those who love to write during their travels, allowing you to keep everything in order and easy to reach. The desk tops are covered in hammered leather, giving a touch of class and protecting the documents or objects that are placed on them. The hammered leather is soft to the touch and resistant to wear, ensuring the durability of the desk. When closed, the desk transforms into a transportable box. This feature makes it a practical object to take with you when traveling, without taking up too much space. Once opened, the desk transforms into a small portable desk, ready to accommodate the objects needed for writing. The English manufacturing of the late 19th century stands out for its attention to detail, the quality of the materials and the elegance of the products. This travel desk is a tangible example of this, representing the high-quality craftsmanship that characterizes the era.
