FAQs

Nineteenth-century pedestal desks are characterised by two pedestals of drawers supporting a rectangular top, typically featuring a central kneehole and classical proportions favoured in traditional studies.

These pieces are traditionally crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction and solid brass hardware.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage patterns, period-appropriate brass handles and escutcheons, and natural oxidation within the drawer interiors.

Pair the dark wood tones with contemporary minimalist seating and neutral walls to create a sophisticated contrast that highlights the rich grain of the timber.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding excessive humidity changes, and periodically applying traditional beeswax to nourish the wood finish.
