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 Sheraton Revival kidney desk features a concave or kidney-shaped profile, popularised during the late 18th century and reproduced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The style is characterised by curved form, mahogany or satinwood veneers, string inlay, and balanced proportions.

These desks were constructed using mahogany or satinwood frames, decorated with tulipwood, boxwood, or rosewood crossbanding. The writing surface typically featured gilt-tooled leather, complemented by brass handles and hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, cast brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and genuine timber veneers. Look for classical proportions, detailed stringing inlay, and consistent wear patterns on the original leather inset.

Position the desk floating away from walls to showcase its finished, curved back panel. Combine it with a modern leather swivel chair, a understated brass desk lamp, and contemporary artwork to balance period features with modern decor.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain annually. Clean the leather writing inset with specialized leather conditioners and keep the desk away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid drying or cracking.
