19th-century Writing Desk
A 19th-century travel writing case made of wood with a distinct grain. The lid is adorned with an inlaid motif with pearlescent highlights depicting a bird among foliage. A fine border punctuated by round medallions frames the top.
When opened, the writing case forms a slanted writing desk lined with burgundy fabric. The upper flap reveals a pen compartment, four small compartments, and an elongated compartment with a removable lid. Yellow metal hinges and lock.
The wood shows scratches and signs of wear. The fabric on the writing desk is worn and stained, with more pronounced scuffing along the fold.
