FAQs

Nineteenth-century writing tables are characterised by functional surfaces, drawers for storage, and the widespread use of dense tropical hardwoods like mahogany, reflecting the periods focus on domestic utility and craftsmanship.

These pieces typically feature solid mahogany or mahogany veneers applied to secondary woods like pine or oak, joined using traditional hand-cut dovetails for drawers and mortise-and-tenon joints for the frame.

Authenticity is identified through construction hallmarks such as hand-cut dovetailing, subtle tool marks, natural ageing and patination of the wood, and period-appropriate hardware and fixings.

An antique table functions effectively as a standalone desk in a home study or as a console table in a living area, contrasting against neutral walls and modern minimalist seating.

Preserve antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax.
