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

A bonheur du jour is a type of small writing desk that introduced a raised superstructure featuring small cupboards, drawers, or open shelves at the back of the writing surface. Originating in Paris during the eighteenth century, it was designed primarily for writing letters and storing stationery.

These desks were traditionally built using cabinet woods such as rosewood, mahogany, walnut, or satinwood, often adorned with marquetry or parquetry veneers. Hardware usually comprised cast brass gallery rails, brass drop handles, and turned timber knobs.

Authentic period examples typically exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints inside drawers, natural wear to the timber finish, and hand-fitted brass keyhole escutcheons. The presence of authentic veneer grain matching and original brass gallery rails also indicates period construction.

Position the piece against a feature wall in a hallway, drawing room, or master bedroom to serve as a compact writing desk or decorative console. Pair it with a modern minimalist side chair to create a balanced contrast between historical cabinet making and contemporary decor.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and applying beeswax annually to nourish the timber. Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer lifting or timber shrinkage.
