About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely late 18th Century Mahogany Officers Military Campaign traveling chest of drawers. To start, under the top there is the original mirror that can come out between the little compartments, this can be smoothly adjusted at an angle you like or you can simply just put it straight. It does come also with two glass bottles (shown in picture 7 and 8). The first slim drawer gives you a sliding green fabric, writing slope all in very good condition, especially for its age. Under the slope, the drawer still has its original basin (picture 22), which it was used to clean either yourself or possessions, since there is a sheet to cover the drawers to prevent stains. On both sides of this gorgeous piece, it comes with strong brass handles for easy transportation. The long, slim and original legs were the main characteristic from the Georgian era. This is wonderful furniture, in good condition, apart from it having a long, thin crack on the left side, underneath the handle, as well as a few small marks here and there as you would expect from an antique piece. Unfortunately, it does not come with the key which is for the lockable top. In the end, this is an exquisite piece from any angle and for any room. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you may need more information. Please have a closer look at the pictures because they form part of the description. Antique and vintage/used items will show signs of wear which form part of their character. All our items are cleaned thoroughly, then a coat of wax is applied to revive the leather/wood and finally hand polished.

Exquisite Victorian Hardwood Military Campaign Writing Slope Desk Later Stand

Located in West Sussex, Pulborough

We are delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning original Antique Victorian Mahogany & Brass Military Campaign writing slope with later stand What a find, if you are in the market for this type of luxury antique militaria then look no further, this is the finest example I have personally seen. The timber patina is glorious, it’s a very old type of mahogany, most likely Cuban. The brass fixtures and fittings all operate perfectly and are flawlessly mounted The stand has been made at a later date to showcase and protect the piece, it is now the size of a normal side table. The writing slope itself has some interesting features, the top can be sat at a 45 degree angle for reading, there is a piece of beaded wood that slots into the two front holes, this holds and seats whatever literature you wish to rest there. The large side drawer is locked in place by a long metal rod, this rod also stops the drawer from coming all the way out. You have two internal document storage sections and various stationary cubby’s. The writing slope is baize lined and on the underside of the base you have a crosshatched silk ripped design which has been studded in place. This is exactly the same as antique LV steamer...
