Ever wondered what Col. Pulleine wrote his orders on in his tent at iSandlwana? Well, perhaps it was something like this – a typical piece of sturdy, fold-away Victorian campaign furniture, designed to withstand the rigours of life in the field. Mounted and cornered in brass, the box opens to present and angled leather-bound writing desk, complete with ink bottle, and compartments for pens and nibs. Dimensions of closed box 9.5 x 15.5 ins; Good condition, with some signs of wear commensurate with age, and some wear to green beize underneath.
