English brass-mounted mahogany writing slope/ travel desk, Gillows of Lancaster, early 19th c., campaign style collapsible handles at sides, opening to green felt-liner interior with pen and ink receptacles, lifting to open storage, opposite side with three concealed drawers, stamped at interior edge "Gillows Lancaster", approx 7 1/8"h, 19"w, 11"d, 19lbs
07.02.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 1248: The receiving end of the lock-plate is lacking, we did not receive this element from the estate in England, I note that the campaign desk is structurally sturdy, with some typical minor surface wear such as abrasions, nicks, and small spots of peeled finish, the brass remaining securely bound with patination, the interior felt lining is overall well-preserved with some minute lifting at one corner, pen and ink receptacles retain dividers, and there is typical wear to the elastic ribbon for memo storage at the underside of writing panels, both of the writing surface panels are lacking all but one hinge, however they remain secured together from the felt lining, this observed wear is commensurate with age and use
