1880s Antique French Louis XV Walnut & Leather Top Writing desk office Desk

Used🛋️ Furniture · 1950s–70s

The edit · Furniture

A used piece of furniture in walnut leather, from the 1980s. Old furniture was built before flat-pack, with dovetail joints and solid wood you can still smell. It was made to be passed on, not replaced.

What to look for

Dovetail joints and solid wood, never veneer over particleboard. A maker's stamp on the underside is the strongest sign of a real piece.

How to place it

Mix one vintage piece with the modern and let the patina show. A maker's stamp on the underside is the strongest sign of the real thing.
