An outstanding Victorian walnut writing slope, beautifully brass-bound and fitted with an engraved nameplate to the top. Crafted from richly figured walnut, this elegant piece opens to reveal ebony-lined compartments for ink bottles and pens, along with a finely tooled black leather writing surface edged in gilt. Both the upper and lower panels lift to provide ample storage for stationery, papers, or even a modern tablet or laptop—blending historic charm with present-day utility. In true Victorian fashion, the slope conceals a hidden compartment containing three small drawers. The release mechanism remains in good working order, adding a delightful touch of ingenuity to this period piece. A fine example of Victorian craftsmanship, this writing slope combines functionality with decorative appeal—bringing a distinguished sense of history to any desk or study.
