Antique Edwardian Inlaid Mahogany Writing Table

1900 - 1920
Description

A beautiful and quite unusual antique Edwardian inlaid mahogany writing table. This was made in England, it dates from around 1890-1900.

This is very well made and is a useful size, the oval top has an inset tooled green leather writing surface. There are also lovely satin wood inlays around the top edge, on the drawer front, and running down the legs. The legs are tapered with spade end feet, and are supported by a stretcher for extra strength. The back is also nicely finished, so this can be used as a free standing item.

Take an enlarged look at the superb brass handles, which are original to this piece.

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

This Edwardian writing table is an English antique in mahogany with satinwood string inlay, brass drop handles, spade feet, and a green leather inset top. It dates from the period 1890-1900 and has a warm brown polished timber finish. The oval top measures 91 cm wide by 46 cm deep and stands 76 cm high. A single drawer sits beneath the top, and four square tapered legs connect via a low stretcher shelf for stability. The back receives a matching finish, allowing placement anywhere in a room. In a modern home, this desk serves as a compact workspace in a study, library, or bedroom. The surface accommodates a laptop or writing materials, while the drawer provides storage for stationery. The freestanding design also suits positioning behind a sofa or within an open-plan living area.

FAQs

Edwardian writing tables are defined by their light, refined proportions compared to heavier Victorian designs, frequently incorporating mahogany timber, fine boxwood stringing, and leather-inset tops.

Traditional Edwardian furniture construction predominantly utilised mahogany, satinwood, and rosewood, often accented with brass hardware, hand-applied veneers, and leather writing surfaces.

Authentic Edwardian pieces can be identified by examining joint construction, such as hand-cut dovetails, alongside period-appropriate drawer linings, patinated brass hardware, and delicate geometric inlays.

An antique writing table can function as a compact desk in a home office, a hallway console table, or a focal point in a living area paired with contemporary lamps and artwork.

Maintain mahogany timber and leather surfaces by positioning the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight, applying natural beeswax to the timber annually, and wiping the leather insert with a dry cloth.
