EARLY VICTORIAN PORTABLE TRAVEL DESK WITH J. BRAMAH LOCK Crafted from fine rosewood with corner pieces and corner reinforcements inlaid with gilded brass. It features a double-sloped, folding writing surface lined with dark leather and decorated with refined embossed border bands around the edges. Lifting the lids of the writing area reveals spacious interior compartments. It also includes additional compartments and an inkwell. It also features gilded bronze side handles. The double-bolt main lock mechanism retains its original brass plate engraved with the prestigious signature “J. BRAMAH · 194 PICCADILLY.” (No key included). There is some wear on the latch of the inner writing compartment lid (which has been repaired to ensure it remains functional). It shows normal wear on the wood and the interior leather lining due to the passage of time. Dimensions when closed: 13.5 x 35.5 x 24 cm
