This example reflects the functionality and refined craftsmanship typical of Victorian-era portable writing boxes.\nThe exterior is constructed from richly toned mahogany, reinforced with brass banding at the edges for durability and visual contrast. The rectangular form opens to reveal a paneled writing surface, traditionally used for correspondence while traveling. The interior retains its original layout, including compartments for writing implements and ink storage.\nBeneath the sloped writing panels are concealed storage sections on both sides, designed for organizing documents and personal effects. The interior fittings include pen trays and ink receptacles, with one original glass inkwell still present. The lock plate is stamped with a “VR” monogram beneath a crown, denoting the reign of Queen Victoria (Victoria Regina), while the hinges are marked “PM \u0026amp; Co.” for Paul Moore and Company, a known English maker.\nKey Features:\nAntique English writing slope \/ travel desk from the late 19th century\nConstructed from solid mahogany with brass-bound edges\nHinged lid opening to a paneled writing surface\nConcealed storage compartments beneath both writing panels\nInterior fitted with pen trays and ink compartments\nRetains one original glass inkwell\nLock plate marked “VR” with crown (Victoria Regina period)\nHinges stamped “PM \u0026amp; Co.” (Paul Moore and Company)\nOriginal hardware and structural components intact\nSpecifications:\nOrigin: England\nPeriod: Late 19th Century (Victorian era)\nMaterials: Mahogany wood, brass fittings, glass inkwell\nFinish: Original finish with some visible age and wear\nMaker’s Marks: “PM \u0026amp; Co.” on hinges; “VR” with crown on lock plate\nInterior: Paneled writing surface with storage compartments and fitted sections\nDimensions: 6.25 inches (H) x 18 inches (W) x 10.25 inches (D)\nCondition: Antique","brand":"gragramp.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57098176725323,"sku":"cmmob5ospmlaykl0352zmjikb","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1032\/5449\/1467\/files\/f012d3a7-0c31-443a-a5f9-9adaa66a178b.jpg?v=1776932956","url":"https:\/\/shop.gragramp.com\/products\/antique-english-brass-bound-mahogany-writing-slope-travel-desk-vr-crown-19th-c","provider":"gragramp.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
