Very Fine Lap Desk with Inlaid Lion
This is surely one of the most interesting writing desks I've had. It is English or Scottish, 19th century and appears to be in original condition throughout. The desk is made of and inlaid with a variety of exotic woods and rosewood, ebony, burled walnut, mahogany and oak. The lions teeth are ivory. The interior has various compartments for ink and pens and even has a built in ruler, and to make it complete it comes with ink stains. The box has a lock and key but I have been unable to make the key work. The size is 13" wide and 10" deep and 5" at the highest point when closed up. Please view all 6 pictures for details and close ups. Thank you.
