Writing Table Antique For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal writing table antique for your home. A writing table antique — often made from wood, mahogany and metal — can elevate any home. Your living room may not be complete without a writing table antique — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. A writing table antique made by Victorian designers — as well as those associated with Louis XVI — is very popular. A well-made writing table antique has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by Gillows of Lancaster & London, François Linke and Maple & Co. are consistently popular.

How Much is a Writing Table Antique?

A writing table antique can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $4,619, while the lowest priced sells for $200 and the highest can go for as much as $1,740,240.

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.
