Early 19th Century Oak Writing Slope / Desk Box
An early 19th-century oak writing slope of simple country-made form, retaining a deep, well-worn patina. The hinged sloping lid opens to a plain interior with a small raised shelf, showing traces of historic ink use.
Hand-worked boards, pegged construction and honest wear throughout reflect its practical domestic origins. A characterful and decorative piece of early English vernacular furniture.
