Vintage 19th Century Brass Bound Burl Walnut Writing Slope Pasta Filled with lime hydrangeaThis 1860s brass bound burl walnut writing slope exemplifies campaign era craftsmanship. The exterior is veneered in richly figured burl walnut and the interior opens to a compact gilt trimmed leather desk fitted with an ink well and dedicated storage for writing implements and papers.
