This late 19th-century Edwardian Sheraton Revival writing desk and display case comes from the workshops of Edwards and Roberts of London, dating to around 1900. Built from solid flame mahogany with exotic wood inlays including satinwood marquetry depicting harebells and swags, it has a warm brown timber colour with a dark leather writing surface, glazed doors with astragal glazing, and a broken-arch pediment at the top. The piece stands on tapered square legs and includes multiple small drawers fitted with brass-coloured metal pulls, dental mouldings along the cornice, and delicate floral stringing. It measures 186 cm high, 94 cm wide, and 57 cm deep. Because of its relatively compact dimensions, this combination secretary and cabinet fits into many areas in the home today, functioning effectively in a study, library, or drawing room as a practical workspace and a display area for books or collectibles. The upper glazed section provides enclosed shelving, while the lower desk area incorporates a leather-inset writing surface and a kneehole flanked by pedestals of graduating drawers.

FAQs

Produced around 1900, Sheraton Revival furniture draws inspiration from late 18th-century designs, featuring slim proportions, neo-classical marquetry inlays, and mahogany construction combined with functional writing surfaces and glazed storage.

These pieces typically feature solid mahogany frames decorated with satinwood or boxwood marquetry inlays. Construction includes hand-dovetailed drawer joints, inset leather writing surfaces, and glazed display cabinet doors with geometric astragal mouldings.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit hand-cut inlaid veneers, natural ageing on brass hardware, minor irregularities in backboards or drawer linings, and fine wood joinery such as slender dovetails rather than modern machine-cut joints.

Position the desk as a focal point in a study, library, or living area, pairing its mahogany tones with neutral walls, minimalist modern lighting, and curated ceramics or books placed inside the glazed upper cabinet.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer lifting or timber shrinkage. Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain to preserve the original finish.
