Victorian Walnut Writing Slope with Velvet Interior & Inkwell

Description

This antique Victorian writing slope is crafted from beautiful burled walnut with dark edging and a mother‑of‑pearl keyhole escutcheon. It is in good antique condition, showing light surface scuffs and minor age‑related wear to the wood, but no structural issues or missing veneer. The interior features a deep purple velvet writing surface with ornate gold detailing, along with multiple compartments for pens, paper, and accessories. It includes two original glass inkwells with brass lids, both well‑preserved. A striking example of 19th‑century craftsmanship, perfect for collectors or as a distinctive decorative piece.
