About the Item

Antique Regency Amboyna & Mother-of-Pearl Inlaid Writing Slope, c.1830 A fine early 19th-century writing slope, veneered in richly figured amboyna burr and decorated with inlay of abalone, mother-of-pearl, ebony, and silver stringing.

The interior is lined in golden satinwood or sycamore, with additional storage beneath the hinged writing panels. Green baize to the underside.
