Inside, the box is fitted with a maroon leather writing surface with a gilt tooled edge. It comes with a pair of glass inkwells, a pen tray and there is a small stamp slope and lidded compartment. There is a secret compartment with 3 small hidden drawers below the leather surface that springs open by lifting a piece of wood next to the inkwell.
