This 19th century-early 20th century Lap Desk with monogramed lid is 12 1/8” wide and 8 ¾” from front to back. When opened it is 15” front to back. Height ranges from 2” to 3 ¼” and the lid unfolds to expose 3 compartments, a covered compartment to hold pens or other writing implements and 2 smaller, open spaces for ink. The writing surface is covered with black felt, which appears to be original, and the lid is decorated with an embellished monogram (“M B M”). The desk is in very fine condition. The writing surface, which folds down to expose a compartment for papers, only shows some very small loss in the upper left corner (well above normal writing range) and there is a little piece of veneer off the lower right corner of the left side. The monogram was applied as a stencil and has darken a portion of the lid. No other splits or cracks.
