Worn and Patinated English Antique Pine Tavern Table Desk
Located in Shippensburg, PA
ENGLISH WORN AND PATINATED PINE TAVERN TABLE Circa the mid-19th century, with three drawers in the apron Item # 402VDP08Z A richly worn tavern table with a wonderful all-over surface patina from well over a century of life and active use, this gorgeous English tavern table features a large pine table top projecting over a simple frame holding three generous size drawers in the front. Each is hand-dovetailed in the typical manner and is hung with an oversized turned wooden knob. It is raised on four incredibly sturdy and robust tapered legs with large exposed pin joinery throughout. The legs are stretched with short stretchers tenoned into the legs on either side and two full-width stretchers that are dovetailed into the side stretchers. Incredibly beautiful and also super practical for so many applications. It makes a fantastic desk or working table, but is generally used in the kitchen as a breakfast table or as a working table/island. And the rich surface patina gives the new owner a great deal of permission to actively use and contribute to the surface history without fear of damage or deterioration from a few stains or abrasions. Measurements: 29 5/8" H x 28 5/8" D x 80 3/4" W Condition Report: Large square of pine set into the table top to probably replace a knot or area of damage; a stretcher at the back (between the legs along the length of the table) was removed at one point and it appears the center stretchers that are dovetailed into the side stretchers were added - a rather old alteration that allows for foot room. Inactive pest damage throughout with significant wear. About silla antiques...

Vintage and Antique Desks for Sale — Shop Handcrafted Mid-Century Modern Desks, Art Deco Desks and Other Desks and Tables on 1stDibs

There’s no reason that the corner of your home you’ve dedicated to work shouldn’t also reflect your personality and sense of style. A collection of unique vintage and antique desks can be found on 1stDibs today.

The right desk can be a good fit for your space and help keep you organized when you need it most. For many, the word “desk” can have a negative connotation. Derived from the Latin desca, meaning “table to write on,” the word can understandably evoke memories of stuffy classrooms or monotonous workdays.

As working from home has become more widespread for part of the workforce, many professionals who work remotely park themselves at the dining-room table or at the kitchen countertop to do so. If you’ve got the space, it's healthy to set aside an area in your home designated for work. A good desk can keep you on track and keep your newly minted home office free of clutter and distractions. 

Within your own walls, an office area can be both personal and productive, decorated exactly to your taste or just an unobtrusive addition that aligns with the energy of the space as is. When shopping for a desk, keep height, space and specs in mind. It’s helpful to know if you’ll need the desk to offer storage, such as drawers or a hutch, or if it should fit alongside your bedroom wall as cleanly as possible.

An antique writing desk, for example, will offer a spacious, streamlined work experience with a desktop that affords real estate for your notebooks, pens, laptop and research materials. Secretary desks reveal small inner storage compartments — pigeonholes, cubbies, recesses or drawers — when their hinged leaves are folded out.

Maybe you'd prefer a vintage mid-century modern desk that seamlessly incorporates drawers for storage.

Nebraska-born designer Don S. Shoemaker became inspired by Mexico’s tropical woods, such as cocobolo, a Mexican rosewood, and he decided to work with the material in the postwar years to create desks and other furnishings. Elsewhere, made according to the same high standards as the company’s chairs, celebrated mid-century manufacturer Herman Miller produced desks over the years in a number of versions, created by designers like George Nelson, Gilbert Rohde and Bruce Burdick.

Whether you want a dramatic rolltop-style furnishing akin to the 18th-century secretary commissioned by Louis XVI or a contemporary piece made of everything from linoleum to fallen trees, a new desk and clever arrangement of desktop accessories can brighten the workday in any home. 

For every passion project, year-end report or spontaneous million-dollar app idea, find the desk you need on 1stDibs.
