English Walnut Writing Case (1880-1900)
This impressive English walnut writing case dates from the last quarter of the 19th century and has been covered with a refined rosewood veneer.
These types of English writing cases were sophisticated and practical objects, particularly popular during the Victorian era, when travel became a little more accessible to a larger part of British society. These chests not only made it possible to work anywhere, but were also a status symbol. This chest has a functional lock and can be opened. Beneath the writing surface are two wooden compartments. On the side is a drawer that can be locked with a pin inside. The case has been covered with a rosewood veneer, a noble wood characterized by dark, irregular stripes.
