Regency Style Maitland Smith Mahogany Faux Partners Desk Leather & Brass Details

About the Item

Stunning Late 20th Century Regency style faux partners desk comprised of a mahogany frame, embossed Florentine leather inset top, and brass details by Maitland-Smith. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. There is a repair to the veneer on lower leg. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century. Is there anything as marvelous as a Maitland-Smith piece??? Hmmmm, we think NOT!!! Especially a vintage piece as remarkable as this desk!!! This is an incredible vintage Regency style faux partners or writing desk by Maitland-Smith comprised of a magnificent two-toned mahogany frame with a wonderful curule or trestle base and its spectacular splayed legs are capped with beautiful brass sabots covering brass casters and an attractive turned stretcher connects each side of the base. Both sides of the base and drawer fronts bear artisan hand carved inlays of diamonds and spears and the desktop features three gorgeous gold & brown embossed Florentine leather inserts, one over each drawer. It has a lighter toned mahogany center drawer and two darker toned mahogany side drawers each bearing small, (but mighty impressive) brass star escutcheons with round center bead hardware. WOW!!!! Now… here’s the kicker!! The back is identical to the front… it appears to have three drawers with matching hardware HOWEVER… the drawers do not open… hence, the title “FAUX partners desk.” That being said, it has an all-over stunning finish and it will float beautifully in any room whether in an executive office, study, den, or as a catch-all in your entry! Have a newly appointed home office? This desk is just what you’ve been looking for AND its spectacular Regency style will host almost any style desk chair and if you’re in need of one, we have several desk chairs listed here for sale that would pair nicely with this desk! Check them out!! Maitland-Smith was founded in Hong Kong in 1979 by Paul Maitland-Smilth, a London antiques dealer with the eye of a connoisseur. For over 30 years they have created the highest quality exquisite and unique decorative accessories, lighting, accent furniture, and reproduction furniture which would become one of their specialties. They are world-class leaders in excellent quality and innovative design and the choice of interior designers everywhere around the world.

Since its founding Maitland-Smith’s sourcing has been based in Asia, and although Paul Maitland-Smith later sold the company that still bears his name and is now headquartered in North Carolina, the brand’s furnishings are still largely made in Cebu, Philippines.

  • Art Deco Revival Tessellated Marble Console Table & Mirror Style Maitland Smith
    By Maitland Smith
    Located in Topeka, KS
    Gorgeous Art Deco Revival tessellated marble with brass inlay accent strips, low console table and mirror, or it could be a coffee table and separate mirror, in the style of Maitland Smith. Excellent vintage condition. There is a tiny chip on the underside of one foot that has been repaired. There are several repairs to the marble that was done nicely and looks like age-appropriate patina. These are vintage, not new, so will have signs of use. Please see photos. Circa 1980-1990’s. Dramatic, bold, unique, and extraordinary…just a few words we can think of to describe this impressive set of bench/table and mirror. Their style is a gorgeous art deco revival but can have a little Hollywood Regency flair. They are comprised of tessellated marble in a creamy off-white with jet black detail. The highlights of this table or bench are its incredible scrolled legs, which are reminiscent of an Ionic Roman column, and the marble tessellation in the shape of banana palm fronds. It is nothing short of spectacular. And then you are presented with its matching incredible wall mirror which is framed by the same creamy off-white and black tessellated marble banana palm fronds that surrounding the mirror glass…. GORGEOUS!!!!! Making the pair simply breathtaking! Although unmarked, this set is like designs by Maitland Smith or Oggetti Designs; however, our research has not revealed the exact piece, but it is made with the same high quality and attention to detail. Plus, its versatility is awesome. There are so many ways to utilize this amazing set…you could use it as a low table and dress it with a large floral arrangement maybe a sculpture or it would be a fabulous bench with a couple of throw pillows against a wall, and the mirror hanging above. Of course, they do not have to stay together. Split them up and use the table/bench as your coffee table then hang the mirror in the hall. This pair is also perfect for a fitting room in a boutique or a dressing bench...
