ABOUT OUR PARTNERS DESK

Only the finest timber has been hand selected to make up our Partners Desk that consists of solid first grade mahogany and three inlays of full grain leather on top, all the handles are hand made from brass and could be shined up if preferred. Both sides are manufactured with a set of three drawers and one cupboard and one large centre draw, hence the name Partners Desk. These days the desk is purchased for the use of one person only but the heritage of the original design and purpose still stands strong in this beautiful and clever design. The wood has been kilm dried twice to eliminate any importing complication. Each piece has been hand made by qualified and experienced artisans with attention to detail being the highest priority. Each item is hand assembled and we make use of traditional joinery as per the dovetail method that are proven to be of the highest standard and has been tested over time.

HISTORY OF THE PARTNERS DESK

The Partners Desk is an antique desk form, which is basically two pedestal desks constructed from the start as one large desk joined at the front, for two users working while facing each other.

This piece of furniture was first conceived in the United Kingdom to accommodate the work of banking partners. These gentlemen were usually senior bank officials who wished to work together while keeping the convenience and the prestige of a pedestal desk. It was an adaptation of the earlier and sometimes larger library desk, found in the libraries of the mansions of the gentry and the nobility.

Most partners desks made in the 19th century were built of high quality woods such as oak, mahogany or walnut and finished with tooled leather inserts on top and brass fittings all around. Many reproductions have been made in the 20th century.
