Pick A Partners Desk – For All Round Elegance

What makes a partners desk different to any other desk and why are they so popular?

The reason is that, unlike a conventional desk, a partners desk is finished on both sides. This was originally to enable two people, partners perhaps, to work at the desk – one either side.

Another reason for their popularity, equally valid, is that, because these desks are finished on both sides, they are not restricted to being placed against a wall. Instead, they can be placed anywhere in a room, even in the middle of one, and still look good all round.

At Regent Antiques we like to offer a full range of antique partners desks, and many other styles of desk of course, to our customers and it’s always worth visiting our showroom in north London to appreciate the sheer diversity of our range.

We’ve taken a few examples of our current range of Antique and period style partners desks for you to take a look at, below.

First, may we draw your attention to this Victorian style burr walnut kidney partner’s desk with a gold tooled leather writing surface and a bookcase on the back:

Victorian Style Burr Walnut Kidney Partners Desk

This is a large desk, measuring some 181 cm (5ft 11 inches) in width and 100 cm, (3 ft 3 inches) deep, but it provides very spacious accomodation for you, your partner if required, and all of the stationery and other accessories you are ever likely to need. this is largely due to the capacious storage facilities offered by the total of 12 drawers, (9 on the front, 3 on the back) and the two cabinets on the back.

The desk is 79cm, (2ft 7 inches) in height.

As an extra touch, and providing yet more storage, there is a bookshelf located in the kneehole which also serves as a modesty panel, as shown in this image:

Another fine example of a partners desk is this Victorian Style Burr Walnut Partners Pedestal Desk:

Somewhat wider than the previous desk at 195 cm (6 ft 5 inches), this impressive Victorian style partners desk offers space aplenty and has a very attractive burr walnut finish with a lovely green leather top decorated with gold leaf.

Storage is again plentiful and comes in the shape of  three drawers across the top on each side and on the left below the top drawer there are three dummy drawers which open to reveal a cupboard. On the right hand side, below the top drawer, you have a drawer with a filing drawer situated below.

Offered for sale at £3450 this is a useful and attractive partners desk suitable for any study, library or office.
