A lovely antique walnut leather top concave desk / side table. This is in the Georgian style, it was made in England, and dates from around the 1930’s.

It’s of great quality and is a very useful size, perfect for use as a writing desk or as an occasional side / console table. The top has a concave shape with a beautiful inset leather writing surface. It stands on nicely turned and fluted legs, the back is also nicely polished so this can be used as a free standing item. There is a good amount of storage space in the two drawers, which have fine quality brass handles.

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

FAQs

Walnut became a dominant wood in cabinet making during the late 17th and 18th centuries, prized for its rich grain patterns and durability before mahogany gained widespread popularity.

Authentic period desks typically feature solid walnut or walnut veneers over secondary woods, hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, and traditional joinery such as dovetailing on the drawers.

Authentication relies on examining tool marks, hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage, the ageing of the leather, and the composition of secondary woods used inside the drawer structures.

Pair the traditional wood and leather textures with minimalist seating and modern lighting to create a balanced study space that highlights the craftsmanship of the desk.

Maintain the timber with microcrystalline wax and treat the leather writing surface with neutral leather balms, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent cracking.
