Description

Edwardian Rosewood Writing Table Desk by Maple & Co with Leather Top & Fluted Legs

________________________________________

A superb Edwardian rosewood writing table by Maple & Co, dating from the early 20th century and showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship for which this prestigious London cabinet maker is renowned.

Constructed in beautifully figured rosewood, this elegant antique writing desk features a fine hand-dyed and antiqued tooled leather writing surface, providing both practicality and period charm. The desk stands on finely proportioned fluted tapering legs terminating in brass castors, creating a light and refined appearance.

The table offers excellent storage with three fitted drawers, comprising a generous central drawer flanked by two smaller drawers. The interior drawer is stamped Maple & Co, confirming its illustrious maker. Unusually, the desk is also fully finished to the rear, allowing it to stand freely in the centre of a room or office.

An Edwardian rosewood writing table by Maple & Co, dating from the early 20th century. Constructed in dark brown figured rosewood, the desk features a dark green-bordered leather writing surface, three frieze drawers fitted with brass drop handles, and four fluted tapering legs terminating in brass castors. The desk measures 74 cm high, 145 cm wide, and 69 cm deep, with a fully finished rear allowing it to stand freely in the centre of a room. Suitable for use in a gentleman's library, study, or home office, this antique writing desk provides a functional workspace and generous storage with its central drawer flanked by two smaller drawers. The rosewood shows a fine patina, complemented by polished brass hardware and distinct fluting along the legs. It functions effectively as a freestanding writing table or statement piece within traditional and contemporary interior spaces.

Edwardian writing tables produced between 1901 and 1910 often feature classical proportions, rosewood veneers, integrated leather writing surfaces, and slender fluted or tapered legs.

Maple & Co frequently crafted writing tables using dense hardwoods such as rosewood or mahogany, accented with brass drop handles, dovetailed drawer joinery, and gold-tooled leather inserts.

Authentic pieces typically feature maker stamps or metal plates inside the drawers or on drawer locks, along with precise dovetail joints, brass castors, and original veneer work.

An Edwardian writing desk functions as a focal point in a home office or study, paired with a contemporary task chair or placed in a living space as an occasional workstation.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically, while treating the leather inset with a specialised leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
