Travel Writing Case In Blackened Wood, Decorated With Brass And Rosewood Marquetry

Travel writing case in blackened wood, richly adorned with elegant brass and precious wood marquetry forming a central foliate cartouche decoration.

The lid opens to reveal a compartmentalized interior featuring storage for writing accessories, inkwells (present) and a correspondence space.

The interior flap is lined with blue leather (or felt) forming a writing surface.

The exterior decoration, sober and very elegant, is highlighted with brass fillets and a geometric frame, typical of the 19th-century taste for quality travel objects.
