Antique Furniture Information and Resources

Our website www.Antiquedesks.net not only showcases our  Antique Desks and Antique Writing and Library Furniture but also provides a great deal of information on the history of antique furniture, how it can be restored and cared for and also why you should consider buying antique furniture rather than an item of new mass produced furniture.

All this extra information can be accessed via our "Antique Furniture Specialist Information and Resources Page".

You will note that this page also links into our Antique Desks "Archive" and also our pages that cover "Famous Antique Desk Makers"

Antique Writing Tables and Library Tables

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.
