Description

A superb antique Victorian mahogany leather top desk / writing table. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1840-1860 period.

This is of outstanding quality, it is a great size and sits on finely 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 has a gorgeous colour tone and is 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 are characterised by robust construction, dark hardwoods such as mahogany, and often incorporate classical revival motifs adapted for domestic study use during the 19th century.

These tables were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, featuring inset tooled leather writing surfaces, brass castors, and dovetail jointed drawer construction.

Authenticity is assessed by examining hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-turned legs, historical tool marks, the natural patina of the wood, and period-appropriate brass hardware.

An antique writing table can serve as a functional desk in a modern home office or act as a striking console table in a living room, contrasting cleanly against minimalist contemporary decor.

Maintain the item by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying quality beeswax periodically to the wood, and dusting the leather surface with a dry, soft cloth.
