An antique wooden lap desk, measuring approx. 16" x 9-1/2" x 5-1/4", in a rich brown wood veneer with a brass inset in the top, a matching brass key escutcheon (part missing), with the key (working lock). The interior is fitted with two hinged lid compartments with the writing surface covered in brown velvet, and with a line of four compartments at one end, two of which contain bottles, and one with a wood lid with a bone knob, to contain pens. Though it needs some restoration, this fine old piece is still very handsome.
