Rare travel writing case, in blackened wood with brass inlays featuring a monogram in the center, surrounded by flowers, scrolls, arabesques and knots.
This unusual object opens in the upper part thanks to a hook lock, original, with its key in working order. The upper part lifts up and reveals three compartments forming a correspondence sorter.
The opening of this storage space allows the opening of the writing part whose top flap is staved.
The interior, in speckled cedar, is made of small storage spaces and a leather with a new golden label, completed with a small tab. This pulls out to reveal a storage space underneath.
In addition to the functional aspect, you will appreciate the rich ornamentation of this Napoleon III writing case. A beautiful object that attracts the eyes and arouses curiosity.
