The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France as the table en haricot, kidney-shaped writing tables became prominent in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Designed with a concave front, these tables allow the user to sit closer to the work surface while maintaining a curved profile.

These pieces frequently feature burr walnut or mahogany veneers laid over solid timber frameworks. The writing surface is typically inset with gilt-tooled leather, supported by carved walnut legs and turned stretchers.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature distinct burr grain patterns, hand-carved details on the legs, and traditional joinery. Original castors and natural patination on the gilt-tooled leather insert also indicate period construction.

Position the desk in a light-filled bay window or alcove to highlight its curved silhouette. Complement the warm walnut tones with understated modern brass lighting and simple contemporary seating.

Dust the wooden surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain. To preserve the leather inset, keep the table away from direct heat sources and treat with a specialised leather conditioner.
