These late Victorian side work writing tables are constructed from rosewood with boxwood inlay, brass hardware, and dark brown leather writing surfaces. Each piece stands on tapered square legs and incorporates a raised central superstructure featuring a small cupboard with urn marquetry and two small flanking drawers, plus a drop-in work bag suspended beneath the main drawer. The timber displays rich dark brown grain tones alongside contrasting pale floral and urn inlays, matching drop handles with backplates, and a practical writing surface height of 72.5 cm. Practical dimensions measure 108 cm high, 69.5 cm wide, and 49 cm deep. Such matching side tables suit placement in a home study, library, or drawing room as compact writing desks and companion writing furniture. They provide a surface for correspondence and reading alongside enclosed storage within the upper cupboards, side drawers, and hanging fabric work bags. The matching pair creates a coordinated arrangement in a reception room or bedroom corner where surface space and subtle marquetry decoration are required.

FAQs

A bonheur du jour is a compact writing table incorporating a raised back with drawers or cupboards, popularised in eighteenth-century France and widely produced during the Victorian era for correspondence and needlework.

Late Victorian craftsmen utilised dense hardwoods such as rosewood, decorated with timber marquetry, boxwood stringing, leather writing inserts, and brass hardware assembled with dovetailed joinery.

Authentic pieces display natural timber ageing, original brass castors, hand-cut drawer dovetails, and classical decorative motifs such as urns or swags typical of late nineteenth-century revival design.

Position the piece as an occasional writing desk in a study or as an accent table in a bedroom, pairing dark timber tones with neutral colour palettes.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources, dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply beeswax polish periodically, and treat the leather surface with a suitable leather conditioner.
