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

Originating around the turn of the 20th century, an Edwardian writing table is a compact desk designed for correspondence, often drawing inspiration from 18th-century Neoclassical and Sheraton designs with fine marquetry, string inlay, and slender proportions.

These tables were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, trimmed with satinwood or boxwood stringing, and fitted with gold-tooled leather writing surfaces (skivers) and cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces from circa 1900 feature hand-cut or fine early machine dovetail joinery inside the drawers, original brass pull handles, natural age-related patina on the timber, and tapered square legs often accented with corner spandrels or stringing.

Position the writing table in a hallway alcove, bedroom bay window, or home office alongside a modern accent chair to create a balanced contrast between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary style.

Apply high-grade beeswax polish to the mahogany framework following the grain, keep the leather skiver hydrated with specialist leather conditioner, and place the table away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping and finish fading.
