It measures Height 79 cm by Width 151 cm by Depth 85 cm, with a kneehole measuring Height 60 cm by Width 60 cm.

FAQs

A partners desk is a large free-standing desk designed for two people to work facing each other, originally created in 19th-century Britain for banking and legal partners.

These desks were constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, often finished with flame mahogany veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hardware, and an inset leather writing surface.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature matching sets of drawers or cupboards on both sides, hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass ring handles, and concealed castors set beneath a solid plinth base.

Position the desk centrally in a home office or library to serve as a focal point, paired with a structured leather chair, modern brass task lighting, and minimal desktop accessories.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply beeswax sparingly once or twice a year following the grain, and clean the leather top with a specialised leather conditioner while avoiding direct sunlight.
