Description

A superb antique Victorian mahogany leather top partners desk / writing table. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1860-1880 period.

It is of great quality and is an impressive size with plenty of work space. The top is inset leather with tooled edges, this stands on beautifully turned legs on casters. There are two drawers on each side, this is finished identically front and back so is intended to be free standing.

We have had this re-polished, the condition is very good for its age. There is some normal age related wear and patina to be seen here and there beneath the polish, commensurate for age.

FAQs

Partners desks originated in the 18th century and became widely popular during the Victorian era to accommodate two people sitting opposite each other for collaborative administrative work.

These desks are typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, featuring inset tooled leather writing surfaces, dovetailed drawer construction, and turned legs often fitted with castors.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut dovetails, traditional timber shrinkage, genuine patination on the wood and leather, and period-appropriate hardware such as brass locks and castors.

Pair the dark wood finish with minimalist modern seating and contemporary lighting to create a balanced study space that highlights the craftsmanship of the period.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry cloth, applying microcrystalline wax to the timber periodically, and treating the leather surface with specialised leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
