Antique Desks - A Valuable Addition To Your Home

There are many different styles of antique desks. When you walk into an attorney’s office, a banker’s office or an office of any official, you will see an antique desk that injects integrity, interest and stature. When you leave, no matter the outcome of the visit you'll probably remember the impressive desk! Bring one of these beauties into your home or office and capture moments of charm and history.

You'll want to consider your space and whether it is for your home or your office. Other concerns are materials, color, how many drawers and of course, your price range. You also may want to consider whether you want a writing desk or drop down front desk.

Also think about other furniture you might already have and how your antique desk will fit in with it. For example, is your desk going to be placed next to the dining room in view of an antique sideboard? In this case, you might want to match styles, craftsmanship and color since these two pieces will be in the same proximity for you and your guests to see. On the other hand, you might not care if your old desk stands out when placed next to that modern sectional sofa in the family room; the contrast might just be the effect in the room that you want.

Or you may want to consider buying an antique library desk. These are hard to find but are worth the effort if you find one. Heavy wood, lots of carved detail and one of a kind. Typically they are large in size so you will need a lot of space.

Another kind of desk you might like is a Victorian antique ship captain’s Davenport desk. This graceful and charming style of desk is named after its inventor, Captain Davenport who commissioned this style of desk for his cabin on his ship. These Victorian antique desks have a top that lifts up to reveal the writing surface and several compartments for papers. The thick legs enclose drawers for more papers as well. Every inch of these compact desks is utilized for efficiency, just like you would want in a tiny captain’s cabin.

You can also have an antique desk custom made if you know what you are looking for and what you want. There are numerous wood craftsmen who specialize in custom antique furniture to suit your every need. There are many different kinds of wood also, depending on your price range. They will take your requirements and fit your every need right down to the screws!

Whatever kind of antique desk you choose, it will be rewarding and add value to your home or office for generations to come.
