<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 10242809, member: 4654&quot;]I took a punt on a writing slope selling on ebay a few days ago, bad photos and a poor description left me feeling apprehensive when it arrived today. It was sold as a sandalwood carved box (I knew it was a writing slope with no insides left) but when it arrived today and I opened it I was over the moon, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s much past 1830 in date and the carving is just magnificent, the best carved box I own and the real bonus it it&#039;s solid ebony, normally carved ebony aren&#039;t Mysore and if they are they are not solid ebony rather just panels applied to a lesser wood box. It needs a lot of work but what a writing slope, I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever seen one in ebony. I&#039;ll do a full post on it when I&#039;ve cleaned it, and hopefully restored it.
