Antique Burl Veneer Writing Box/Slope w/Wax and Monogramed Seal Stamp:
$186.75

This is an antique Burl Veneer Writing Box or Slope. Our best guess is that it was made in England during the late 1800's or early 1900's. There is no information on its maker or previous owners. Inside it has a red velvet writing surface that probably is a replacement. In addition, it has a wax seal stamp and small blocks of sealing wax which was used to seal envelopes. The stamp has a monogram which appears to be the letter "T' but we could be wrong on that. It also has an antique crystal inkwell. The antique lock works smoothly with what may be the original skeleton key. The Box is actually in wonderful condition with the veneer and edging intact plus the lid for the compartment inside still present. It measures 13 x 8.75 x 4.5 inches and weighs 3 pounds, 14 ounces.
These old writing boxes were once the state of the art for written communication. This one is unusual to still have an intact ink bottle and even more unusual to have the wax seal stamp of a previous owner. We recommend it as a wonderful gift for a friend or teacher who still appreciates, and enjoys sending, a hand written note from a nice antique. We can ship it very reasonably within the U.S. (Under $15.00) and we accept returns for any reason within 30 days. (Note: We included a photo with an antique English Burl Dressing Box that would compliment this Burk Writing Box and will offer a great deal should someone with to acquire both.)
