  • This is a rare survival of luxury furniture made by the royal workshops. Such small writing-boxes were used on tables, to hold the paraphernalia associated with writing such as ink and quills, and other small items. It does not appear to have been designed for writing on, but has the characteristic sloping lid of a desk. It was not until the seventeenth century that the desk developed as a specialist form of table with drawers. The inventory taken at Henry's death in 1547 lists similar boxes or desks with their contents. For example in a closet next to the King;s Privy Chamber at Greenwich Palace were three desks covered with leather, one of which was 'furnysshed with boxes without Counters with a penne knyfe and a payer of sisorres'.
