Gillows Mahogany Partners Writing Desk

1900 - 1920
Description

Outstanding Gillows partners writing desk in superb original condition. The desk splits into 3 parts allowing for easy transportation to and around the home or office. It's serpentine top section has 3 working drawers to the back and front and a tan tooled leather insert. The writing surface is marked (shown in pictures) and can be easily be replaced however I feel these only enhance the look of this superb desk. The two pedestals which the top sits on have 3 graduating drawers to the front and panelled cupboards to the back. All the drawers run smooth, are of dovetail construction and have decorative brass handles. Both ends have wonderful shaped panels with flame mahogany veneered inserts. Carvings of flowers, shells and acanthus leaves decorate the corners and the feet of the pedestals. Like all antiques there is imperfections however this is a solid desk with deep rich colouring that will look impressive in any office. There is a Gillows stamped on the lock.

The Knee Hole Is 63cm In Height

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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 large, double-sided writing table featuring drawers and cupboards on both sides, originally designed in 18th and 19th-century Britain to allow two business partners to work facing each other.

These desks were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or oak, often veneered with flame mahogany, and fitted with brass hardware alongside a gold-tooled leather writing surface.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass handles with period-appropriate oxidisation, oak or pine drawer linings, and equal drawer functionality on both opposing sides.

Position the desk in the centre of a study or home office rather than against a wall, pairing it with a tailored leather swivel chair or contrasting contemporary seating to highlight its double-sided construction.

Apply a natural beeswax polish along the grain of the mahogany wood, and condition the leather writing inset periodically using a dedicated leather cream while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
