This late nineteenth-century Victorian writing table is by the renowned makers Maple & Co and is constructed from warm brown walnut with a striking grain, a good patina, and a traditional wax finish. The shaped top holds a burgundy tooled leather inset with gilt details, surrounded by ebonized edges and moulded borders. Beneath the top sits a single mahogany-lined frieze drawer fitted with two brass handles and carved fine edges. The frame incorporates turned legs with white porcelain castors, a curved lower cross stretcher for stability, and carved decorative motifs on the corners. Measuring 72 cm high, 91.5 cm wide, and 53 cm deep, this practical desk fits well in a gentleman's library, a home study, or a quiet corner of a living room for daily writing and correspondence tasks. The traditional design and compact proportions provide a functional workspace that integrates easily into various interior schemes.

FAQs

An antique writing table is a freestanding piece of furniture featuring a flat surface, often lined with leather or skiver, supported by legs and typically fitted with shallow frieze drawers for stationery.

Victorian writing tables were constructed using fine hardwoods and veneers such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood, complemented by gilt-tooled leather inserts and brass hardware.

Authentic Maple & Co furniture frequently features maker stamps or metal plates inside the drawers or on the underside, alongside quality indicators such as finely dovetailed joints and solid cabinet construction.

An antique writing table can serve as a home office workstation, a hallway console table, or a focal side desk when paired with modern lighting and a modern chair.

Clean the piece with a dry microfiber cloth, apply specialist leather conditioner to the inset periodically, and keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or cracking.
