FAQs

An escritoire is a type of writing cabinet featuring a fall-front flap that conceals a fitted interior of compartments and small drawers, popularised during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.

These pieces were typically constructed from oak or pine carcases, veneered with highly figured burr walnut and enhanced with crossbanding, featherbanding, and brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetails, original timber shrinkage, patination, hand-wrought iron or brass fixings, and construction methods consistent with period joinery.

It serves as a striking focal point in a study or living area, contrasting well against minimalist walls or paired with contemporary seating to highlight its rich wood grain.

Maintain the finish by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity, applying quality beeswax periodically, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth.
