William IV Rosewood Lap Desk

This is a fabulous example of a William IV rosewood lap desk which is in a superb piece of rosewood featuring a mother of pearl top and key escutcheon. Open the box to reveal the red releathered writing surface, space underneath the writing surface for paperwork, two inkwell sections with original inkpots, a pen slope with compartment underneath and a nib slope and a stationary rack to the back. The tasselled key is just for decoration and doesn’t work the lock.
