Burr Walnut writing box with secret compartments and top secret document drawer!

Beautiful burr walnut writing box much smaller than other examples we have had in the past, with brass edging, large square escutcheon and engraved initial plate with the monogram “A B E”. The sides have superb flush-fitting campaign style carry handles. With a gold-tooled black leather writing surface.
This lower half of the writing surface lifts to reveal a storage space. The upper half of the writing slope is lockable and lifts to reveal another storage space. However, this one has a secret! Gently pulling the right-hand inkwells compartment divider causes a false wall to spring forward revealing two hidden drawers. With two silver screw top inkwells and removable pentray.
The drawer to the side of the box is held in place when the box is closed thanks to the clever sprung brass retaining pin. Once the box is open the drawer can be fully removed. The writing box has a two fully functional locks and tasselled keys.
