A truly charming antique writing slope, richly decorated in black lacquer with ornate floral hand-painting and gilt scrollwork.

This beautifully shaped box features a slanted lid adorned with a central cartouche of baskets overflowing with pink and peach flowers, surrounded by flourishes and framed corners.

The elegant top crest is further embellished with carved and painted botanical relief.

Inside, the slope opens to reveal a deep maroon felt-lined compartment, perfect for storing letters, writing supplies, or treasured keepsakes.

The craftsmanship suggests a late Victorian to early 20th-century origin, likely continental, with exquisite attention to detail throughout.

Whether used as functional decor or admired as a collector’s piece, this writing slope is a beautiful nod to romantic craftsmanship of the past.
