Knole, the great house in Kent, is famous for its collection of seventeenth-century furniture, the era when English joiners turned table legs into spirals known as barley twists. In houses like that, letters and accounts were written at a broad table set by a window. This desk is made for that kind of focused work today. Its wide top gives you space to spread out papers, a laptop and a lamp at once, and its barley twist turning brings a touch of that old craft to a study.
Barley twist is a spiral shaped on a lathe so that it looks like a twisted stick of barley sugar. Here it comes in a dark finish that makes the turning stand out. At 70 inches wide and 31 inches deep, the desk has room for a monitor with space to work in front of it, and at 29.75 inches high it suits a standard desk chair.
Set it in a study facing a window with a lamp, a pen pot and a stack of books, or in a living room against a wall as a writing table. It also makes a generous library table in a hall, with a vase of flowers and the mail. This listing is for one desk.
