Antique Brass Perpetual Desk Calendar

1900 - 1920
Description

A small perpetual desk calendar dating from the early 20th Century. It has a brass frame with a beaded border and it stands on an oak base. It comes with a full set of date and week cards.

It's in good condition for its age. The frame has some small dinks and marks here and there but nothing detrimental and the wooden base is in good order. The cards have discoloured slightly and there are some small losses around the edges and borders but they display well and the calendar is certainly very usable.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

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 perpetual calendar is an adjustable desk accessory designed to display the day, date, and month for any given year using mechanical rollers or sliding cards. Popularised in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, these brass items served as functional stationery pieces for offices and study desks.

Most traditional perpetual calendars feature a brass or nickel-plated metal faceplate mounted on a solid hardwood base, such as oak, mahogany, or walnut. Internal mechanisms typically consist of paper or linen printed rolls operated by brass winding knobs.

Authentic pieces generally display natural patination, age-appropriate wear to the internal paper rolls, and stamped maker marks or patent numbers on the casing. The mechanical knobs should operate the internal rollers, and the frame will exhibit solid brass construction rather than modern lightweight alloys.

Place this item on an executive desk, library bookshelf, or console table alongside leather-bound books and brass desk lamps. It functions as a decorative focal point in a home office, study, or hallway setting.

Dust the surface gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid using harsh abrasive polishes to retain the original patina. Ensure the paper rollers inside remain dry and protected from damp conditions to prevent tearing or discolouration.
