Fine Antique Coromandel wood Writing Slope/Box complete with inkwells, keys

This fine antique Victorian writing slope is crafted in striking Coromandel wood, prized in the 19th century for its rich grain and durability. Dating to the mid-1800s, it features brass inlay, fittings, and a working lock with key, combining elegance with functionality.

Inside, the slope opens to reveal a red velvet writing surface with gilt detail, twin compartments for inkwells (glass inkwell present), and additional storage beneath the writing boards. Hidden compartments and original brass hinges enhance its historic charm.

Condition: Good antique condition with expected wear, marks, and some surface scratches consistent with age and use (see photos). Velvet shows age-related wear but remains intact.

A rare and desirable Victorian desk box, ideal for collectors of antique writing equipment, desk accessories, or those seeking a decorative and functional piece of 19th-century craftsmanship.
