Brass edged and inlayed
kingwood veneered writing box by T Lund, with Bramah type lock,
opening to an embossed leather writing surface (original),
compartments for inkwells and pens lined with ebony. The writing
flap has a separate lock and opens to a rare lift-out tray.
When the tray is removed there is a compartment for papers. A sprung
panel conceals three secret drawers hidden under the ink and pen
compartments. There is great attention to detail and the box is made
and finished to the highest quality. The box has a rare pair of
candle sticks.
