Description

Antique 20th century Edwardian writing table in mahogany, an elegant and practical piece with attractive decorative detailing throughout.

Standing on four sturdy legs with castors, the table can be moved with ease while retaining a solid and well-balanced appearance.

Three drawers are arranged across the front, with two larger drawers positioned either side of a smaller central drawer, providing useful storage for stationery, documents and everyday essentials. Decorative brass handles complement the rich mahogany beautifully, while delicate inlaid detailing to the drawer fronts adds a refined finishing touch.

A brown writing surface tops the table, creating a generous and comfortable area for writing or working.

Gorgeous natural grain and rich colour further enhance the mahogany, giving the piece plenty of warmth and traditional character.

Edwardian writing tables, produced between 1901 and 1910, typically display lighter proportions than Victorian furniture, featuring Neo-classical revival elements, satinwood stringing, and square tapered legs.

High-grade mahogany timber, satinwood or boxwood inlays, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass escutcheons, and castors are standard construction characteristics of the period.

Authentic examples exhibit fine dovetailing, period-appropriate brass drawer handles, natural age-related oxidisation to the timber underside, and delicate perimeter line inlay.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a dry cloth, applying beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and placing the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
