Antique writing desks

An antique writing desk is one of those pieces that really add a nice visual appeal to a den, library, or office. If you are a writer or poet, I can’t think of a better piece of inspiration than writing on a piece of furniture that has borne the weight of the thoughts and writings of all the previous owners.

Antique writing desks


Antique writing desks are usually bigger than today’s modern versions and made from solid pieces of mahogany or other long lasting wood. The type of wood used is usually only minimally treated to maintain the unique character of each antique writing desk you may come across.

Simply no two desks are alike.

Whatever you do, don’t just buy an antique writing desk to store away with a huge collection of furniture. This is piece of art that needs to be used. It’s not as much a collection piece as it is an inspirational piece.

If you long for the days when folks would write a 3 page hand-written letter to a long lost friend, rather than a 4 line text message or email, then an antique writing desk may just be the piece that makes your day. Get one and make someone’s day by writing them a lovely letter.
