Henry VIII's writing desk is a portable writing desk, made in about 1525-26 for Henry VIII, and now in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The desk is a product of the royal workshops and is lavishly embellished with ornamental motifs introduced to the Kingdom of England by continental artists. The gilded leather lining is painted with figures and profile heads that are close in style to contemporary portrait miniatures, while the figures of Mars in armour and Venus with cupid are taken from woodcuts by the German artist Hans Burgkmair (1473-1531), which were published in 1510. The desk also bears the coat of arms and personal badges of Henry and his first queen Catherine of Aragon. Such images conveyed powerful messages of allegiance and were used extensively in the decorative schemes of Henr

has abstract	Henry VIII's writing desk is a portable writing desk, made in about 1525-26 for Henry VIII, and now in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The desk is a product of the royal workshops and is lavishly embellished with ornamental motifs introduced to the Kingdom of England by continental artists. The gilded leather lining is painted with figures and profile heads that are close in style to contemporary portrait miniatures, while the figures of Mars in armour and Venus with cupid are taken from woodcuts by the German artist Hans Burgkmair (1473-1531), which were published in 1510. The desk also bears the coat of arms and personal badges of Henry and his first queen Catherine of Aragon. Such images conveyed powerful messages of allegiance and were used extensively in the decorative schemes of Henry VIII's royal palaces. The Latin inscription on the inner lid reads 'God of Kingdoms great Protector of the authority of the Christian Church give to your servant Henry VIII King of England a great victory over his enemies'. The exterior of the desk is covered with shagreen (possibly sharkskin) and fitted with metal-gilt angle-mounts, loop handles and ball feet, all added during the 18th century. The interior surfaces of the compartments are lined with red silk velvet, probably added during the 19th century. The writing surface and the large compartment have been relined very crudely with a crimson silk velvet, the appearance of which is considerably older than that of the red velvet. (en) Lo scrittoio di Enrico VIII è uno scrittoio portatile, realizzato tra il 1525 e il 1526 per Enrico VIII d'Inghilterra. È esposto al Victoria and Albert Museum di Londra. La scrivania è un prodotto delle officine reali ed è sontuosamente decorata con motivi ornamentali introdotti nel Regno d'Inghilterra da artisti continentali. La fodera di cuoio dorata è dipinta con figure e teste di profilo che sono vicine alle contemporanee miniature, mentre la figura di Marte in armatura e di Venere con Cupido sono tratte dalle xilografie dell'artista tedesco Hans Burgkmair (1473-1531), pubblicate nel 1510.Lo scrittoio, inoltre, reca lo stemma e i distintivi personali di Enrico e della sua prima regina Caterina d'Aragona. Tali messaggi trasmettevano forti messaggi di fedeltà ed erano ampiamente utilizzate negli schemi decorativi dei palazzi reali di Enrico VIII. L'iscrizione latina sul coperchio interno recita "Il grande Protettore dell'autorità della Chiesa Cristiana, il Dio dei Regni, dà al tuo servitore Enrico VIII Re d'Inghilterra una grande vittoria sui suoi nemici". La parte esterna dello scrittoio è coperta con della pelle di zigrino e munito di supporti angolari in metallo dorato, manici ad anello e piedi rotondi, tutti aggiunti nel corso del XVIII secolo. Le superfici interne dei cassetti sono rivestite con velluto in seta rossa, probabilmente aggiunto nel XIX secolo. Il piano di scrittura e lo scomparto maggiore sono stati rivestiti in modo molto approssimativo con velluto in seta cremisi, il cui aspetto è considerevolmente più antico rispetto al velluto rosso.
