Description

A superb antique Edwardian mahogany leather top kidney shaped desk. It was made in England, it dates from around the 1900-1910 period.

The quality is outstanding, this is extremely well made and is a very useful size. There is a gorgeous inset leather top with tooled edges, generous knee hole space and this is nicely finished on all sides, so can be used as a free standing item. There is lots of storage space in the many drawers which all run smoothly, they have brass handles and extremely fine, hand cut dovetailed joints. This stands on brass casters, it is quite a heavy and very sturdy item.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age.

FAQs

Edwardian furniture, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, often draws inspiration from earlier periods such as Sheraton, Chippendale, and Hepplewhite, featuring lighter proportions and refined craftsmanship.

These desks were typically constructed using dense hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, or oak, frequently complemented by hand-tooled leather writing surfaces and cast brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining dovetail joint construction on the drawer boxes, checking for hand-turned screws, assessing the natural patina of the wood, and identifying period-appropriate brass locks and handles.

An antique desk can serve as a striking focal point in a modern home office or living space, pairing effectively with minimalist seating to create a balanced contrast between historical character and clean lines.

Maintain the mahogany with high-quality microcrystalline wax, avoiding silicone polishes, and clean the leather insert gently with a slightly damp cloth, followed by a specialized leather cream to prevent cracking.
