The Carlton House desk is a renowned piece of furniture associated with the Georgian period of British history. It was commissioned for the Prince of Wales, who later became King George IV, and was named after Carlton House, his residence in London. The desk is notable for its fine craftsmanship, elegant design, and historical significance.
Our desk is based on the design of the original Carlton House desk which was designed in the late 18th century, by the renowned English furniture maker George Hepplewhite. It is considered one of the finest examples of Hepplewhite's work. The desk features intricate marquetry, delicate inlays, and detailed carvings, showcasing the skill and artistry of its craftsmen.
The original desk was housed at Carlton House, where it served as a symbol of wealth, power, and prestige. It was used by the Prince of Wales for correspondence, writing, and other administrative tasks. The desk's design reflects the neoclassical aesthetic popular during the Georgian era, with elements inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture.
