Description

A magnificent and large antique burr walnut leather top partners desk. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1900-1920 period.

It is of superb quality with an absolutely stunning design. It is a great size, the top edges have wonderful gadrooned carving, and there is a beautiful inset three sectioned leather writing surface. There are high quality brass handles, the drawers have fine, hand cut dovetailed joints, inlaid borders and cross banded fronts. The back is identical to the front, with five drawers on both sides. This sits on amazing cabriole legs with incredibly finely carved acanthus leaves at the knees, terminating in claw and ball feet. This looks amazing from all angles, the panelled sides have lovely moulded borders. The burr walnut has a beautiful, mellow colour tone and stunning grain patterns.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age.

FAQs

A partners desk is a large double-sided writing desk designed for two people to work opposite each other, which gained significant popularity during the Victorian era for use in grand offices and libraries.

These desks are traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods like oak or mahogany, frequently veneered with highly figured burr walnut, and feature inset tooled leather writing surfaces alongside hand-cut dovetail drawers.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetailing, genuine timber shrinkage, period brass hardware, and patination consistent with age rather than artificial distressing.

Such a desk serves as a striking focal point in a home study, contrasting effectively against minimalist walls or paired with modern seating to create a balanced, eclectic aesthetic.

Maintain the timber using quality beeswax applied sparingly, and clean the leather top gently with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the antique surface and finish.
