Edwardian Campaign Writing Desk, Inlaid Stationary Desk, Traveling desk

Reference : BUR-7542

This very campaign writing desk is a rarely seen Edwardian travelling writing desk .It is in the Sheraton style and features magnificent satinwood inlay to its panels. The work of inlay is very elegant.

It comes in 2 halves: a lower section that consists of a wide spring loaded door as well as 2 cupboards each hiding another drawer. The upper section is fitted with large brass campaign style handles to its sides and has a lid that allows the front to drop down, exposing the travelling desk.

Within the upper section, there are 9 little drawers, filing slots and hooks as well as an inkwell and brush. It has a clock fitted to the central void. It might not be the original clock but it fits perfectly well and is in working order.
It locks thanks to its 4 keys.

Being over 100 years old, there is some very light damage in the form of some splitting to the front of the drop down panel, a small dent to the edge of the drop down panel that can’t be directly seen in either the open or closed setup, as well as some wear to the leather.

Other than the above, it is still a lovely and spectacular piece with wear consistent to age.
