Description:
Rotorua inlaid portable writing desk This intaglio (where timber veneers are inserted into the surface rather than over the surface) portable writing desk was found in Rotorua. Constructed from oak and red cedar and then inlaid with a variety of native timbers, the inclusion of 'Ink bottles' made from totara burr add another level of interest to this charmingly naive desk. The writing surface is correctly lined with leather and the brass hinges appear to have been adapted specifically for the purpose of connecting the flaps. Width 43 cm height 17 cm Depth 24 cm
