This Sheraton Revival mahogany bonheur du jour from 1880 works as a writing desk in a study or drawing room. It stands on square tapered legs fitted with castors, with satinwood marquetry inlay, chequered inlays, and quarter fans adorning the warm brown timber surfaces. The lower section includes five mahogany-lined drawers, featuring a bow-form central drawer, while the upper superstructure comprises four drawers, two cupboards, and an arrangement of arched pigeonholes. Lion mask drop handles accent the drawers across both tiers. The dimensions are 100 cm high, 109 cm wide, and 53 cm deep, providing a practical writing station for correspondence or administrative work in a period home.

FAQs

A bonheur du jour is a small type of writing desk introduced in Paris during the eighteenth century, characteristically designed with a raised rear superstructure containing small cupboards, drawers, or pigeonholes.

Sheraton Revival furniture from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries predominantly utilizes fine mahogany timber, often decorated with satinwood crossbanding, floral marquetry inlays, and cast brass drawer pulls.

Authentic period examples feature neoclassical proportions, slender square tapered legs, brass cup castors, precise hand-dovetailed drawer construction, and detailed timber inlays.

A traditional writing table can be styled along a hallway or within a quiet alcove, pairing classic cabinetmaking with minimal decorative glassware, task lighting, or understated seating to bridge traditional and modern aesthetics.

Maintain the polished timber surface by dusting regularly with a clean, dry lint-free cloth and applying a traditional beeswax polish sparingly along the grain, while keeping the item clear of direct sunlight and heat sources.
