What a great and functional piece of early American Decor, this antique reproduction travel writing lap desk. Used in the 18th and 19th century by men and women alike, a wood writing travel desk like this would store a wiring pen, inkwell, paper, finished document, ink blotters, and more, while providing the user a work surface on which to write.
