Here is an absolutely outstanding 19th century Burled Walnut lap Travel Desk. This one as I hope you can see has the most outrageous burl walnut ? it is just so highly figured it just screams. The entire box has a brass molding on all corners. Overall the condition is very good ? the surface is just how we found it is a little bit dirty and could use a good cleaning. It has a brass plaque on the top with no monogram and a brass escutcheon on the front of the box. On the back left bottom of the box there is a section of brass molding that is missing. All around the front there is also a fine string inlay of brass and a piece or two is a bit lifted ? but I would have to say that overall the condition is really excellent. This box dates from the middle 1800?s and it has the two fold out compartments inside that are lined with what appears to be the original black leather it also has the compartments in the front for the inkwell and pens and so forth. Great box - one of the many uses for today would be to have a stand made for this and you can use it as a little table between two chairs etc ? they really work well for that purpose. It measures 17 7/8?w x 7 1/8?h x 10 1/8? deep.

Striving For Excellence
It isn?t brilliance or just getting the breaks,
It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
