Description

A beautiful oak stationery box dating from the late 19th / early 20th Century. It has a lovely warm patina and a sloped front with brass escutcheon. It is a particularly large example and excellent quality and comes with its original working key. The doors opens out to reveal a series of racks for holding papers and letters. Above this is a perpetual calendar with cloth reels for the days, numbers and months which can be turned. There is also a pen tray and a pair of glass inkwells and below this is a large drawer that pulls out. The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

condition

It is in very good condition and although it has been used it has been well looked after over the years. There are a few small knocks and marks around the outside, general signs of age and use but nothing detrimental. There have been a few small repairs here and there and a small slither of wood has been added to the edge of the door to ensure they close tightly and the key works. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
