Solid antique oak desk top document chest made in the 19th Century in England. The front of the chest opens with two doors with brass hinges to reveal a series of compartments with a drawer at the bottom and a scroll styled perpetual calendar at the top. The inside of either door functions as a book rest of easel to hold documents and letters. There is a removable bottom to one of the compartments to reveal a hideaway cubbyhole and the top flips open to permit the calendar to be removed. This is a very well constructed desk top chest using solid oak with brass hardware. The key is original and the lock is operational
