Superb Quality Mahogany Chippendale Design Writing Table

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Andros Antiques
Description

This superb quality Chippendale Design Mahogany Writing Table is a fine example of the cabinet maker and carvers art. Decorated with a profusion of extremely detailed carving, there really is so much to enjoy with this table.

The generously proportioned legs have a particularly good shape to them with a bold cartouche on the knee and terminating in a glorious scroll toe. The rails of the table are decorated with blind fret incorporating yet more meticulous carved detail. The lower and upper mouldings are also carved.

The central drawer is of a very good depth offering a generous amount of storage, and the drawer itself is a secret drawer and not immediately obvious and so not spoiling the lines of the piece. The top has carved decoration to the edge and is lined with a distressed antique green coloured hide with a good amount of tooling.

This table is finished all round so can be placed in the middle of a room. It is sure to make a statement wherever it is placed.

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.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Chippendale style furniture originates from 18th-century designs, characterised by detailed wood carvings, cabriole legs, ball-and-claw feet, and intricate fretwork.

Traditionally, Chippendale writing tables are constructed from solid mahogany wood, frequently featuring an inset leather writing surface with gold tooling and detailed carving.

Authentic period pieces or quality revivals display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, solid timber drawer linings, precise hand carving along the apron, and natural surface patination.

A Chippendale writing table can be positioned as a central desk in a study, styled with contemporary task lighting, neutral wall colours, and minimal decorative accessories.

Maintain the mahogany structure by dusting with a soft cloth and applying beeswax biannually. The inset leather top should be kept away from direct heat and treated with leather conditioner.
