This Victorian freestanding kidney shaped writing table dates from 1860 and uses burr walnut, green leather and brass. The warm brown burr walnut timber shows detailed floral marquetry inlay across the curved top and frieze. The kidney shaped top incorporates green leather writing panels and a central raised writing slope with a lift-up lid that opens to reveal a storage compartment. The structure stands on finely carved, shaped, solid walnut cabriole legs with original brass casters, united by a turned and carved central stretcher supporting turned columns. The piece measures 85 cm high, 115 cm wide and 53 cm deep. Placed in a study, library or drawing room today, this desk serves as a functional workspace or a freestanding decorative accent in an English Country House interior setting.

FAQs

A Victorian kidney-shaped writing table is a curved desk designed during the nineteenth century, shaped specifically to wrap around the user to keep writing tools and paper within easy reach.

These tables were typically crafted using solid timber bases covered in decorative veneers such as burr walnut or mahogany, accented with hand-tooled leather writing surfaces and fine marquetry inlay.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, turned and carved support legs, original castors, and natural age-related patina across the timber veneer and leather inserts.

Position the desk centrally in a home office or living room to highlight its fully finished back, or pair it with a modern neutral desk chair to create a balanced interior aesthetic.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish annually to protect the veneer, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
