The two-tiered design features a raised back with twin drawers, each fitted with original brass handles and framed by a delicate gallery rail. The writing surface is inset with a beautifully tooled green leather skiver, bordered by warm mahogany. The two drawers underneath also retaining their original brass fittings and provide additional storage. The desk stands on slender, tapering legs with spade feet and discreet castors.

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

Edwardian ladies writing desks, produced in the early 20th century, are characterised by lighter proportions, refined wood inlay, elevated galleries, and integrated drawers designed specifically for writing correspondence.

Craftspeople predominantly used solid mahogany or wood veneer, incorporating boxwood stringing, leather writing surfaces, and cast brass handles and galleries.

Authentic Edwardian desks typically feature hand-dovetailed drawer joints, fine string inlay, original brass castors, leather inserts, and well-proportioned square tapered legs.

Position the desk in an alcove, sunlit corner, or study alongside a modern desk chair and brass task lighting to contrast classic timber with updated textures.

Preserve the mahogany frame by applying high-grade beeswax twice yearly, and care for the leather top by wiping with a soft, slightly damp cloth while avoiding direct sunlight.
