FAQs

Partners desks originated in 19th-century Britain, designed specifically for banking institutions, lawyers, and business partners who required a shared workspace with identical drawer configurations on both sides.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, featuring hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, brass drop handles, and dovetail joinery in the drawers.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetails, secondary wood types, original brass hardware, natural timber oxidisation, and matching functional drawers on both the front and rear elevations.

Due to its substantial scale and double-sided design, a partners desk works best positioned centrally in a home office or library as a focal point, paired with a complementary leather or wood desk chair.

Maintain the mahogany using a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the timber, and protect the leather insert with microcrystalline wax while avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
