Georgial Cylinder Top Desk Circa 1810

18th century
Description

A superb Georgian cylinder top desk circa 1810. Mahogany with ebony and boxwood stringing to the front and sides. With four oak lined drawers and a pull out candle slide on each side.

The interior slides forward and includes a writing slope with an adjusting ratchet. This desk displays several features of superior quality which include the rope twist legs which sit on castors and the veneered and finished back.

Quite rare to find a desk with the candle slides and this with the quality would suggest that this was probably custom made for a wealthy client.

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 cylinder top desk is a writing cabinet with a rigid, curved wooden lid that rotates back inside the carcass to reveal an internal arrangement of small drawers and pigeonholes.

Georgian cylinder desks were typically constructed using high-grade mahogany with secondary timber such as oak or pine, often accented with boxwood string inlay and brass hardware.

Authentic Georgian examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-planed secondary woods, original brass castors, and smooth wooden tracks for the rotating cylinder section.

Position the desk against a neutral wall in a study or living area, pairing warm mahogany wood tones with contemporary task lighting and restrained decorative accents.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a microcrystalline or beeswax polish annually, while avoiding placement near direct heat sources.
