ANTIQUE LAP DESK WITH INK WELL & KEY

I've had this for a while. Another person and I got into a bidding war and I paid too much for it. It is still bright and very usable. It's 11 7/8" long X 8 3/4" wide X 5" deep. As you can see, there's plenty of room for storage inside (paper & pens). I think the painting is actual hand painting and some are pictures laid on it and a couple of coats of lacquer over it. I see so much here. There's a goat boy, a lady with a horse and cart gathering wheat being cut by others. Looking at the housing and other buildings, I think it could be Russian or Czech Republic, Bulgaria...just not sure. I fell in love with it and really thought I would use it a lot more than I did. It's still a GORGEOUS piece that will fit in anywhere. Thanks for stopping by and check out my other listings!!
