FAQs

The Carlton House desk style originated in the late 18th century, traditionally attributed to designer George Hepplewhite and first made for the Prince of Wales at Carlton House.

These desks are typically constructed from high-grade timber frames veneered in exotic woods such as satinwood or mahogany, featuring delicate marquetry, hand-painted floral motifs, and brass fittings.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-cut dovetails in the small drawers, genuine timber shrinkage, and traditional hand-brushed finishes rather than modern lacquers.

Position the desk as a freestanding statement piece in a study or living area, pairing it with minimalist seating to highlight its intricate craftsmanship without cluttering the space.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply periodic applications of quality beeswax.
