FAQs

Partners desks originated in 19th-century Britain, specifically designed with double-sided drawers and workspaces to allow two people, such as business partners or bankers, to work opposite each other.

These desks were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, often featuring hand-tooled leather inserts on the writing surface and cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces typically display period construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, secondary timbers like pine or oak in non-visible areas, and natural ageing like patination on the wood and leather.

Placing a large wooden desk centrally in a room creates a commanding focal point, which can be balanced with minimalist modern seating and contemporary lighting to bridge traditional and modern aesthetics.

Maintain the wood with appropriate furniture wax and clean the leather top gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the antique finish.
