Description

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

This is of wonderful quality, it sits on beautifully turned solid mahogany legs terminating in brass casters. The two drawers also have beautifully turned mahogany handles and fine, hand cut dovetailed joints. The inset leather top is hand coloured and tooled round the edges. This has a nicely finished back so can be used as a free standing item.

We have had this re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age. There is just some normal age related wear and patina here and there beneath the polish.

FAQs

Victorian writing tables evolved during the 19th century to cater to the rise in administration, correspondence, and scholarly pursuits within domestic households and offices.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, frequently featuring inset leather writing surfaces embellished with gold tooling.

Authenticity is determined by hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, traditional timber shrinkage, appropriate patination, and period-specific brass castors.

Pairing the dark wood with minimalist seating or placing it against a neutral wall creates a striking focal point that balances traditional craftsmanship with modern simplicity.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply specialized leather cream periodically to prevent cracking, and use beeswax to nourish the polished wood surfaces.
