Description

A wonderful antique inlaid mahogany Sheraton style escritoire desk. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1910 period.

This is of superb quality, it is a useful and very charming piece. The mahogany has acquired a gorgeous patina and colour tone over the years, this stands on turned and fluted legs, the drawer fronts all have inlaid satinwood banding. The drawers also have fine, hand cut dovetailed joints and high quality brass handles.

We have had the top re-leathered with a hand coloured russet hide with hand tooled edges. We have also had this sympathetically re-polished to preserve the patina and character. It is in great condition for its age, with some normal surface wear remaining beneath the polish, commensurate for age.

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment.

FAQs

Sheraton style furniture, originating in the late 18th century, is characterised by classical proportions, straight tapered legs, delicate satinwood inlay, and a light, elegant aesthetic inspired by neoclassical design.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid mahogany or finely figured mahogany veneers over secondary woods like pine or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers and brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-forged or cast brass fittings, hand-cut dovetailing with irregularities, natural timber shrinkage, and appropriate patination consistent with age and use.

An antique desk can serve as a striking focal point in a contemporary study or living room, pairing well with minimalist seating to create a balanced contrast between old and new.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, and occasionally applying professional beeswax polish.
