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 partners desk is a large double-sided desk originally designed in Great Britain during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to allow two business partners to sit opposite each other and work simultaneously.

Victorian partners desks were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as solid mahogany, walnut, or oak, often finished with flame mahogany veneers, turned wooden knobs, brass keyhole escutcheons, and leather writing surfaces.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces typically feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass or steel locks, matching drawer configurations on both front and back, and natural wear patterns consistent with age along the base and kick areas.

Place the desk centrally in a home office or library to showcase its double-sided architecture, pairing it with neutral walls, modern task lighting, and contemporary leather seating to balance the traditional timber tones.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the grain. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage and colour fading.
