I am selling an antique papier mache' lap desk circ 1840-60. The lid is papier mache' in a black floral design. It has a lot of mother of pearl inlaid around the flowers and edge of desktop. Closed, the desk measures 10" X13". The top of the slant is 3 1/4" deep. The writing surface is inlaid with red velvet outlined with gold leaf trim. There are a few scratches on the outside, but it is in excellent used condition. It has a key and lock which works. Stationery can be stored inside. There is also a covered pen carrier below the pen box. I can find no writing nor information on the case. I PREFER PAY PAL, BUT I WILL ACCEPT CASHIER CHECK, MONEY ORDER, OR PERSONAL CHECK. WILL SHIP WHEN ABOVE CLEARS.
