Travelers and seafarers of yore had to be resourceful in order to survive. Desks on board ships had to be cleared and stowed at a moments notice. Things had to be multi-functional. In the case of our desk, the two supports could act as steps into the navigator's bunk, or to mount a camel, whichever came first. The desktop, complete with drawers and brass bound, could act to stop musket bullets when under fire. Leather top, hand rubbed French finish, somewhat beat-up: proof of its many voyages and colorful history. Learn More

Captains made good use of notoriously cramped quarters in the ship's stern section (deckhands were housed before the mast). The captain's desk was tailor made to offer maximum comfort and space in a minimal floor area.

Sturdy construction to withstand often violent ship's movements. Well-traveled. Sturdily made of cherry and maple. Leather inset top. Learn More

Architects were once skilled draftsmen and graceful calligraphers, able to draw a crisp and perfect line on virgin drafting stock. They worked at a classic architectís desk crafted of precious woods, with an adjustable work surface tilted to an individualized angle. Usually they would stand, lounge, and lean on the tall desk, discarding the chair or replacing it with a tall, narrow stool. Learn More
