Antique Mahogany and Leather Escritoire Desk

1900 - 1920
Description

A wonderful antique mahogany and leather escritoire desk. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1900-1920 period.

The quality is outstanding, this is very well made and beautifully designed. It sits on a X framed solid mahogany base with a nicely turned stretcher for support, with brass casters beneath. The leather topped writing surface unfolds and is supported by runners that slide out from either side of the main drawer. There is a back gallery section that contains lots of additional smaller drawers. The desk top when closed and the main drawer front are cross banded, this also has a nicely polished back, so can be used as a free standing item.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age.

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.

FAQs

An escritoire is a compact writing cabinet or desk designed primarily for correspondence. It typically features a flat writing surface topped by a small superstructure of drawers or compartments for storing pens, paper, and ink.

Regency written furniture commonly features high-grade flame mahogany veneers, solid oak frame drawer linings, brass handle hardware, brass casters, and inset leather writing surfaces.

Authentic Regency desks often exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass casters, classical architectural influences such as X-frame or curule legs, and rich hand-polished mahogany finishes with natural age patina.

An antique escritoire functions effectively as a refined focal point in a modern study, hallway, or living room alcove, paired with clean contemporary lighting and understated artwork to highlight the warm wood grain.

Mahogany furniture should be dusted regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and protected from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent wood movement and finish degradation. High-quality beeswax polish applied sparingly preserves the lustre of the timber.
