This Arts and Crafts writing table dates from the period around 1900. Manufactured by Howard and Sons, the piece takes the form of a heavy oak desk finished in a dark brown tone with an original polish finish. The construction incorporates a geometric parquetry top, a long opening single frieze drawer fitted with two original brass drop handles, and a trestle base with twin turned end supports linked by a central turned stretcher. Standing on castor feet, the desk is finished on all four sides. Measuring 79 cm in height, 127 cm in width, and 64 cm in depth, this sturdy table suits placement in a study, home office, or a gentleman's library. The versatile design allows for freestanding placement in a room, providing a functional workspace with period character for daily administrative tasks or writing.

FAQs

Originating in the late nineteenth century, Arts and Crafts writing tables emphasise functional construction, honest joinery, and the natural figure of timber. Designed in reaction to industrial mass production, these pieces feature clean geometric proportions and subtle decorative details such as parquetry or turned stretchers.

Quarter-sawn oak, walnut, and ash were favoured materials due to their durability and pronounced grain patterns. Metal hardware was typically crafted from cast brass, iron, or copper, often showcasing hand-finished patination.

Authentic examples often display visible hand-fitted joinery, maker stamps or metal workshop plaques, and natural wear patterns across working surfaces. Original brass drop handles and well-executed timber marquetry or parquetry also assist in establishing era authenticity.

An antique writing table serves as a functional focal point in a modern home office, study, or living room alcove. Pairing dark oak with contemporary desk lamps, natural textiles, and neutral paint colours creates a balanced contrast between modern and traditional elements.

Keep the desk away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement or surface fading. Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and periodically apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the direction of the grain to preserve the wood finish.
