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.

  • How do I identify an antique table?

    2 Answers
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    You can identify an antique table in a number of ways. The first clue that a table is antique is the joinery. If a piece of furniture is dovetailed by hand, it only has a couple of dovetails, which are uneven. Also, antique tables are not defined by perfect symmetry. Lastly, antique tables were typically made of oak, mahogany, and walnut.

    In addition to the joinery you can check the bottoms of the drawers and the backs of the cabinets. If they were made prior to 1850 then the wood will most likely be dimensioned by hand. It will be uneven to the touch. The secondary wood that receives the veneer will have been scraped smooth but drawer bottoms, backs and bottoms are often left less finished.

  • What's the difference between a mid-century modern desk and a writing table?

    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Desks typically include drawers or storage, while writing tables are a flatter, more minimal work surface; check the listing description for storage details.

  • How can you tell if a kitchen table is antique?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell if a kitchen table is antique, look under the table and on the legs for a maker's mark. It may be carved, branded or stamped onto the surface or appear on a paper or metal label. Using the marking, you can consult trusted online resources to learn about the maker and view catalogues of their pieces, searching for tables similar to yours. If your kitchen table was produced at least 100 years ago, it is an antique. Keep in mind that not all antique furnishings have maker's markings. In the event that you're unable to locate a mark, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can evaluate your piece for you. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of tables.

  • How can you tell if a side table is antique?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To determine whether a side table is an antique, closely examine its details. Older pieces will typically have telltale features like wood pegs, hand-cut dovetails with some slight imperfections and mortise-and-tenon construction. Tables that are a consistent color throughout or have machine-cut moldings or carvings are unlikely to be antiques. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can be a helpful resource when dating tables. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and modern side tables on 1stDibs.

  • How can I identify my antique dining table?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To identify your antique dining table, first check to see if there is a maker’s mark on the underside. If there are no identifying marks or stamps, a furniture appraiser can check the style and the hardwood used to identify your piece. Shop a collection of antique furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

  • How do I care for an antique wood dining table?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Keep it out of direct sun and away from heat, dust with a soft cloth, and wax or polish sparingly.

  • Can I replace the shade on an antique table lamp?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Yes. Most table lamps accept standard harp and finial sizes, so a replacement shade can update the look without altering the base.

  • How do I identify an antique drop leaf table?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    While you can look for markings and other details to try and determine the maker, the best way to identify an antique drop leaf table is to work with a certified appraiser. Trusted online venues and search engines can be helpful when conducting research on a specific collectible, piece of jewelry, art work or other item about which you may have questions, but qualified professionals, such as an antiques dealer or an appraiser at an auction house, have the knowledge and experience needed to make more accurate identifications. Shop a selection of antique, vintage and modern tables on 1stDibs.

  • What wattage bulb should I use in an antique table lamp?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Stick to the wattage noted in the listing, typically 40 to 60 watts for standard incandescent-equivalent bulbs, to avoid overheating older wiring.

  • What's the difference between a vintage and antique dining room table?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026

  • Is it safe to use a vintage or antique table lamp without rewiring it?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Many vintage lamps are rewired before sale, but always check the listing description; a licensed electrician can inspect and rewire older cords as a precaution.
