  • ObjectDesks & Writing Tables
  • Period18th century
  • StyleJacobean
  • MaterialOak, Brass
  • ColourDark Brown

  • SizeH 75.5 cm (30 in) x W 96 cm (38 in) x D 50 cm (20 in)

The Jacobean style is characterised by solid construction, rectangular forms, dark woods such as oak, and prominent turning details like bobbin or spool legs.

These tables were typically constructed from native hardwoods like oak using traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon, often featuring hand-carved details and brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joints, natural oxidisation, tool marks consistent with period hand-working, and timber shrinkage appropriate to centuries of age.

Pairing dark timber items with neutral walls and contemporary seating creates a balanced contrast that highlights the historic craftsmanship without overwhelming the room.

Maintain antique wooden surfaces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and treat them periodically with traditional beeswax to nourish the timber.
