Antiquedesks.net Our Antique Writing Tables and Library Tables offer a good alternative to a traditional antique desk. We stock tables in a wide range of sizes from small writing tables of 91cm width up to large library tables of 183cm width and more. These all offer the work space of a desk plus storage in the frieze drawers and without the restrictions of the "kneehole" that accompany many desks. In all instances our tables are of the highest quality, fully restored, and often with new leather writing surfaces. We believe they offer exceptional value for money and will give many years of service into the future. Note that we also carry a limited stock of patent Antique Reading Tables and Music Stands- these are extremely popular! CURRENT STOCK - MAY 2013 SPRING ANTIQUES SALE NOW ON

Our Writing Tables have drawers to one side only whereas our Library Tables have drawers to both sides (either working or dummy drawers). The drawers will usually have locks. The legs of the tables often have castors and wheels for ease of movement. Legs are usually fixed (not removable). Smaller tables have two drawers (per side for Library Tables) and larger tables three or four drawers (per side for Library Tables). Reading Tables often have mechanisms for height and reach adjustment and some also have other Patent features. Our Reading tables may also be used as Music Stands in many instances.
