  • Writing Desk used by Charles Dickens, circa 1800
    Located in Dorking, GB
    This is the desk on which Dickens began his famous writing career. He was in fact a solicitor’s clerk working from number 1 Raymond Buildings at Grays Inn, London. This is where this actual desk was used by Charles Dickens in 1827. The Charles Dickens desk is made of solid mahogany. It is a good quality standing clerk's desk. It was made in the Georgian period of about 1800. It has four fine turned legs, raised on brass castors. They are linked by an under tier, which was probably useful for storing the work in hand. It has a hand dovetailed single drawer with turned knob handles. The sloping leather top adjoins a flat galleried shelf...
