In 1880, timbers from HMS Resolute, a British Arctic exploring ship, were made into a great partners desk at the Chatham Dockyard in Kent and sent to the White House as a gift from Queen Victoria. This desk takes its design from that famous original, and it is made for the same serious purpose: a place to sit down to the day's real work. Its carving runs richly across the front and sides, and its leather writing surface is ready for pen, papers and a good lamp.
It is made from sustainably grown hardwood carved by hand, and the leather top is smooth under the hand and kind to fountain pens. At 72 inches wide and 48.5 inches deep, it is a commanding piece with room to spread out plans and papers, and at 31 inches high it sits at a comfortable working height.
Set it at the centre of a home office or a library, facing into the room with a leather chair behind and bookcases around. It also suits a study where the whole family gathers to work. This listing is for one desk.
