A Classical, English or Antique desk for your office

Who doesn’t dream of a beautiful, classic, English or antique desk to work at? A desk is often the centrepiece of an office and quickly catches the eye. Historically, a desk has been a symbol of status; the director would typically work at a luxurious and magnificent desk, whilst employees would use a more modest desk or worktable. Thanks to our wide range, there’s always a desk to suit your interior, budget and style. We offer antique and vintage desks that we restore ourselves, meaning you benefit from excellent value for money. We also stock new desks.

Types of classical, antique and English desks

  Below is a summary of the various types of classical, English and antique desks that exist. Due to the extensive knowledge we have built up over the years, we have a wide range of desks in our collection.

The Partnerdesk

The partner desk, also known as a double desk, is a desk that can be used to work at from two sides. A partner desk is often somewhat larger in size and features drawers and cupboards on both sides.

pedestal desk

The English desk, also known as an English desk or Chesterfield desk, is a desk intended for one person to work at. An English desk is somewhat smaller in size and is therefore easy to place in smaller spaces. Due to its size, it does not take up as much room as a partner's desk or a writing table, yet still allows you to work comfortably.

The desk

The writing table is a table-model desk which features a leather worktop. A writing table has traditionally been used largely as a conference table or meeting table and is therefore suitable for multiple people to work at simultaneously, and for this reason is often also the largest size you can get.
A writing desk has plenty of legroom because you don't have cupboards, only drawers in the tabletop, making it easy for multiple people to use it.

The corner desk

A corner desk is a desk that is intended to be placed freestanding in a room or against a wall. A corner desk often consists of an L-shaped desk with a 90-degree angle. The advantage of a corner desk is that it is multifunctional. For example, you can place the corner desk against a wall so that it takes up little space, or you can choose to place it freestanding or with one side against the wall, which partially shields the workspace and makes it extremely suitable if you want to use it in an office and do not want everything to be immediately visible.

Kidney-shaped or oval desk

In addition, there are English, Antique and Classical desks in shapes that you do not often come across. For example, there are desks in a kidney-shaped or oval design. The rounded edges ensure that the desk looks less pompous in the room.

What materials are used for a Classical, English or Antique desk?

The Classical, English and Antique desks from our large collection have a luxury finish and are made from high-quality materials including brass, bronze, mahogany, cherry wood, walnut, oak and leather. Because the desks are crafted using these high-quality materials, they have a long lifespan and you will be able to enjoy a wonderful place to work for years to come!

Maintenance tips for a Classic, Antique or English desk

To extend the lifespan of your Classic, Antique or English desk, it is important that you maintain your desk regularly. Below you will find a few maintenance tips to help ensure that your desk lasts as long as possible:

• It is important that you treat the leather desktop regularly with leather grease, which keeps it supple and long-lasting, and prevents cracking.
• Do not place hot objects on the desk as this can cause rings in the wood or leather.
• Take care with sharp objects or pens as these may cause damage to the desk.
• Position the desk out of direct sunlight as much as possible to prevent the wood from discolouring.
• Check if the wood is still in good condition; if the wood feels dry or if deep scratches have appeared in the lacquer layer, it is advisable to treat the desk with furniture wax once. This is a coloured wax that ensures scratches are less visible. It is best to apply the wax with an old cloth and then let it soak into the wood for a short while. Once the wax has been well absorbed by the wood, you should then buff the remaining beeswax out of the wood using a clean microfiber cloth. It is advisable to wax the wood once a year to extend the lifespan of your Classic, Antique or English desk as much as possible.
• Keep your desk clean; we often see that food debris or grains of sand can cause damage to the desk. 
• Please be careful when vacuuming your room not to scrape against the desk with your vacuum cleaner, as this causes paint damage at the bottom.

How do I choose the right office chair for my classic, antique or English desk?

Choosing the right desk chair is very important, as it determines the comfort you experience when working at your antique, classic or English desk. We have a large range of classic, antique, Chesterfield and English desk chairs. Available in various sizes, colours and designs. 

When choosing an office chair, it is important to opt for one in a Classic, Antique, Chesterfield or English style. These are designed with armrests that tilt back, allowing you to slide right under the desk. The chairs are often fully height-adjustable and reclining, providing extra comfort.

It is important to take the legroom of the desk into account, as there must be sufficient space for the desk chair to slide under the desk; if the chair is too large, you will not be able to fit comfortably under the desk, which means you will not be able to work ergonomically at your English, antique or classic desk. We always state the legroom on our website; amongst the photos of all our desks, you’ll find diagrams clearly showing all the dimensions.

Thanks to our many years of experience, we can work with you to find the chair that best suits your needs; we recommend that you visit our showroom, where you can try out our range of office chairs at your leisure, and we can position one for you next to a desk so that you can immediately get a feel for how the office chair complements your Classic, Antique or English-style desk.

Looking for a matching lamp for my classical, antique or English desk?

In addition to a large range of furniture in a classical, antique or English style, we also have a large range of lighting in an English and classical style that seamlessly matches our classical, antique and English desks.

How do I put together my English, antique or classic desk?

The desks in our range are demountable and always constructed from 3 parts. First you place the two desk cabinets and then you place the wooden worktop on the cabinets; the worktop is fitted with small blocks on the underside which fit into the cabinets, securing it immediately. You do not need to use any screws or nails to secure it, which also makes it ideal for moving house as it fits through any doorway.

How do I choose the right English, antique or classical desk that meets my requirements?

When choosing an agency, a number of things are important:

Size: choose a desk with sufficient legroom and a size that fits the space; large desks, such as partner desks, often offer more legroom than an English desk. If you really need a lot of space, a writing desk is also an option. To get an idea of the size in the room, you can cut out a piece of paper or card to the dimensions of the desk, so you can quickly get a sense of the space it takes up.

The colour: make sure the colour of the desk meets your requirements and suits the room in which you are placing it. It looks lovely to place a Classic, Antique or English-style desk in a room with a classic or modern look. When choosing the right colour, it is important to take into account the colour of the walls and the floor. You can decide whether to have the colour of the desk complement or contrast with the rest of the room. If you opt for contrast, it often looks good to choose a light-coloured floor, as this makes the desk stand out even more.

The purpose of the desk: it is important that you choose a desk that suits your needs. If you want two people to work at a desk, it is advisable to opt for a large desk, such as a writing desk or a partner desk. If you’d like to store a lot of items in a desk, we recommend opting for a partner desk or an English desk. Most of the desks in our range feature plenty of storage space, allowing you to store lots of items.
