Antique boxes and writing slopes

Discover antique boxes and writing slopes with interiors worth examining as closely as their exteriors. The catalogue includes examples with fitted compartments, inkwells and concealed drawers, alongside dressing and jewellery boxes. Features differ from piece to piece, so check the description for included fittings, working keys and any replaced writing surface. Look at photographs of a slope both open and closed, and ask how any concealed mechanism operates. For a gift or a collection, the details of the individual box are the best starting point.
