The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A partners desk is a substantial double-sided desk engineered to allow two people to work facing one another simultaneously. Popularised during the Victorian era, these desks typically feature pedestals with drawers or cupboards accessible from both sides and a gilded leather writing surface.

Victorian partners desks were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints and solid pine or deal secondary timbers. The tops traditionally feature inset skivers of tool-embossed calfskin or sheepskin leather.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, cast brass lever locks, turned timber or cast metal knobs, and natural wear patterns along the plinth base. Additionally, true partners desks have working drawers or faux-front cupboards on both opposing sides.

Positioning a partners desk centrally in a room creates a clear architectural focal point, allowing access from all angles. Pair the rich mahogany timber with contemporary neutral walls, structured task lighting, and modern leather or upholstered seating to balance traditional proportions.

Dust mahogany timber regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the wood grain. Protect the inset leather skiver from direct sunlight and heat source exposure, conditioning it occasionally with specialist leather cream to prevent drying or cracking.
