Edwardian Walnut Roll Top Desk

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a fine quality walnut roll top desk from the Edwardian period. We have had a very similar desk in stock which stated on the lock that it was wholly made in Scotland. To the underside of this desk is chalked storage information that says JEDBURGH, so it's likely of Scottish origins. Sympathetically fully restored without taking away it's character it is now ready for the next 100 years. The interior is particularly attractive with satinwood faced drawer fronts and an antique green tooled leather writing surface. The lock is working and with the original key. All the base drawers are oak lined with the original nickel plated brass pull handles. The fielded (bevelled) external panels are polished to all sides which allows you to use it off the wall. The etched nickel escutcheon reads RJCB June 1907 and some of the internal drawer labels suggest a religious former owner. A very fine piece of exceptional writing furniture which breaks into three main parts and will go through almost any doorway.

Kneehole Height - 70cm = 27 1/2 inches Width 58cm = 23 inches

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

An Edwardian roll top desk is a writing desk constructed between 1901 and 1910, characterized by a flexible slatted wooden tambour cover that rolls down to conceal an interior arrangement of small drawers and pigeonholes above a double-pedestal base.

These desks were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or mahogany, featuring brass handles, contrasting timber interior veneers such as satinwood, and gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original brass lock mechanisms, canvas-backed wooden tambour slats, and multi-drawer pedestals engineered to lock when the main lid is fully closed.

Position the desk as a central feature in a dedicated home office or library, paired with neutral wall colours, modern brass lighting, and a tailored leather desk chair to balance traditional wood craftsmanship with contemporary utility.

Maintain the timber by applying natural beeswax polish along the grain, keep the interior free of dust, avoid positioning near direct heat sources to prevent wood movement, and clean the leather surface with specialized leather cleaner.
