Product Description

Experience the splendor of the early 19th century with this beautiful complete writing ramp, also known as a portable secretary or writing box, made in the Netherlands. A wonderful gift with free shipping!

This beautiful writing ramp is a rare and unique piece, which has its origins in the early 19th century. This masterpiece was made in the Netherlands and bears witness to colonial history with its beautiful inlaid images, probably from the Dutch East Indies. The fine details and craftsmanship make this antique piece a true eye-catcher in any interior.

In the early 19th century, this writing ramp was used by traveling writers and civil servants. The portable design made it easy to take important documents and writing utensils with you wherever you go. This specific writing box is complete and undamaged, which is exceptional for an object of this age.

The writing ramp dimensions are 46cm x 35cm x 8cm (18.1in x 13.8in x 3.1in) when collapsed. This makes it a functional and decorative object that radiates both history and elegance. It is a perfect gift for antique lovers, history buffs or anyone who appreciates a unique and meaningful gift.
