Antique Georgian Period Mahogany Leather Top Writing Table

19th century
Description

An outstanding antique Georgian Period mahogany leather top writing table / desk. It was made in England, it dates from around the 1800-1820 period.

It is of superb quality, it has a lovely, compact and quite unusual design. It stands on beautifully turned legs with brass casters, the drawers have high quality brass handles & the main drawer has the original Bramah Lock which is always a sign of a top quality item. There are dummy drawers with brass handles on the sides and on the back too, so this looks wonderful from all angles. There is a gorgeous inset leather writing surface, the mahogany has a beautiful colour tone and patina.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age, with some normal wear and patina remaining beneath the polish here and there.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Georgian writing tables typically feature balanced classical proportions, solid mahogany construction, turned or tapered legs, and inset leather writing surfaces decorated with blind or gilt tooling.

Craftsmen predominantly used solid mahogany, oak drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joinery, brass ring or knob handles, and gold-tooled leather surfaces.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-sawn drawer bottoms, hand-cut dovetails, original brass castors, genuine patination on the woodwork, and natural age-related wear to the leather inset.

Place the table near natural window light as a compact home office desk, or position it in a hallway or living room as a decorative console paired with contemporary artwork.

Dust the timber with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish along the grain, while treating the leather insert with specialist leather conditioner to prevent drying.
