FAQs

Partners desks were originally designed during the 18th and 19th centuries to allow two people, typically business partners or bankers, to work opposite each other at the same large surface while sharing storage space.

These desks are traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods like mahogany or oak, featuring hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, dovetail joints in the drawers, and turned wooden or brass handles.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-specific characteristics such as hand-cut dovetailing, cedar or oak drawer linings, uniform patination on the wood, and working brass locks with original keys.

Balance the historical weight of the piece by pairing it with minimalist seating, contemporary lighting, and neutral surroundings to create a sophisticated focal point.

Maintain the wood and leather by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying appropriate micro-crystalline wax to the timber, and treating the leather with neutral conditioning balms.
