Description: Thisantique British Victorian slope is a stunning piece crafted from the finest coromandel veneer (now extinct) and gilded brass in a Gothic stye. All original! Dates between 1865-1880. In museum display condition! Note the serpentine silhouette of the letter box viewed from the side. All the brass studs intact. No losses of any kind and it has the original patina. Two original period inkwells. The velvet writing surface with gold embossing is original as well and there are hidden shelves underneath and below the letter box as seen in the fourth pic.

It was generally reserved for well-heeled customers and often on custom-made pieces. Dividers intact in the stationery section.

One of the finest such pieces I've ever seen.
