Early American Writing Table For Sale on 1stDibs

Choose from an assortment of styles, material and more with respect to the early American writing table you’re looking for at 1stDibs. Each early American writing table for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, oak and metal. Your living room may not be complete without an early American writing table — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. An early American writing table is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Arts and Crafts, Industrial and Neoclassical styles are sought with frequency. A well-made early American writing table has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by Larkin & Co., Herman Miller and George Nelson are consistently popular.

How Much is a Early American Writing Table?

Prices for an early American writing table start at $412 and top out at $28,000 with the average selling for $2,150.

Finding the Right Desks-writing-tables for You

Vintage desks and writing tables span centuries of design. The writing table came first, a simple surface built for correspondence, while the drawered desk followed as record-keeping at home and in the office grew more demanding.

Styles to Know

Any desk at least 20 years old falls under this broader vintage category. If you want a tapered-leg, mid-century look specifically, browse mid-century modern desks; Louis XVI and Art Deco secretary desks bridge the writing-table and desk forms. A vintage table lamp adds task lighting to either.

How to Choose the Right Vintage Piece

Writing tables often carry little to no storage of their own, so a separate file cabinet or desk organizer may be worth planning for, alongside a close look at the surface dimensions against the space available. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed, and every purchase is covered by the 1stDibs Promise.
