As an alternative to an Antique Desk many of our clients now
specify an Antique Writing Table or Library Table. We can source these in
a range of sizes, wood and ages - some have drawers on one side only, others
(generally the larger sizes) have a "partners" configuration with drawers to
both sides - see more examples on our
Antique Writing Tables page and our
Antique Writing Tables Archive pages
We have sourced tables by famous furiture makers such as Holland and Sons, Heal and Son and Gillows. Prices range from around £1000 for a small Victorian table (fully restored and excellent retail condition) up to around £10,000 for a large antique library table with excellent history and provenance. Please contact www.antiquedesks.net for more details. Chairs can be sourced to match each table.
