About the Item

A Beautiful Handcrafted English Antique 19th Century Hardwood Veneer Writing Slope With A Tooled Purple Leather Writing Liner. Item Featured Brass Carry Handles Is Finished With A Decorative Brass Inlay. Manufactured By Esteemed Maker Wells Lambe. Item will include new notepad pad, Quill pen (modern), and two brass -topped glass inkwells and lockable key. Slope has a concealed storage compartment underneath the writing surface. Exquisite Gift For The Writing Enthusiast. Maker: John Wells was a pocket-book manufacturer based at 34 Cockspur Street. After his death in 1804, his two children, Thomas and Elizabeth Wells, having both apprenticed with him, continued the business under the name of J. Wells Co. John Lambe began working as a pocket book manufacturer and silversmith. In 1809, John Lambe married Elizabeth Wells, John Wells’ daughter, acquiring her share of the J. Wells Co business; it is their collaboration and partnership that became known as Wells Lambe. Their business was first documented in 1811, having a manufactory and shop based at 29 Cockspur Street, with a second shop at 44 New Bond Street, London. Initially working as jewellers, silversmiths and pocket-book manufacturer’s, Wells Lambe soon expanded their repertoire, specialising in copying machines, portable writing desks (writing boxes, as we know them today) and dressing cases. Antique lap desks had hinged writing surfaces, often covered in leather, felt, or other material, that flip up to reveal storage space for papers. Individual compartments were designed to hold inkwells, pens, sealing wax, and other contemporary writing materials. Some desks also had concealed storage compartments.

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...
