An outstanding example of Victorian ingenuity and craftsmanship, this military campaign lap desk is constructed from richly grained camphor wood, its vibrant patination beautifully preserved. The desk is brass-edged for durability, with original flush-mounted campaign handles adding to its authenticity and appeal. Feature a tambour roll-top, which retracts as the lower drawer is opened—an elegant, space-saving mechanism. The interior reveals a series of thoughtfully arranged pigeonholes of various sizes, accompanied by a green baize writing surface that remains in excellent condition. In keeping with the Victorian fascination for hidden details, the box conceals a set of secret drawers, cleverly revealed by activating a small steel pin. Complete with its original working key, this slope is not only highly functional but also deeply evocative of a bygone era of travel and refinement.
