Square Desks For Sale on 1stDibs

An assortment of square desks is available at 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, metal and glass, all square desks available were constructed with great care. There are 17 antique and vintage square desks for sale at 1stDibs, while we also have 11 modern editions to choose from as well. There are all kinds of square desks available, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. There are many kinds of square desks to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Modern, Mid-Century Modern and Art Deco square desks are of considerable interest. Not every interior allows for large square desks, so small square desks measuring 19.5 inches across are available at 1stDibs. Many square desks are appealing in their simplicity, but Paolo Rizzo, A. G. Fronzoni and Cappellini produced popular square desks that are worth a look.

How Much are Square Desks?

Square desks can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $4,856, while the lowest priced sells for $637 and the highest can go for as much as $29,478.

Finding the Right Desks And 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.
