The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A partners desk is a large, double-sided writing desk designed in 18th-century Britain to allow two people to work facing each other comfortably. Originally created for banking and legal executives, these desks feature usable drawers or cupboards on both working sides.

Georgian style partners desks were typically constructed from solid mahogany or flame mahogany veneers, featuring inset leather writing surfaces on top. Hardware traditionally consists of cast brass drawer pulls, turned knobs, or swan-neck handles.

Period pieces exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer joints, original brass locks, and natural wear or patination on the timber and leather inset. Additionally, traditional partners desks break down into three distinct sectionstwo pedestals and a top frameto facilitate transport.

Place the desk centrally in a home office or study rather than against a wall, allowing full access to both sides. Pair it with a modern leather office chair, clean-lined brass task lighting, and minimal desktop accessories to balance classic proportions with contemporary functionality.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain. Clean the leather inset using a damp cloth and treat it with a specialist leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
