Antique Belgian Slant Top Writing Desk
Did this writing desk once belong to a school master? A novelist? A secretary in a bookkeeper’s office? While we may never know who its former owner was, we do know we are smitten with its turned legs and petite inkwell drawer.
Constructed from European pine, the desk features a hinged slant top which opens to reveal generous storage. Both the storage space and the inkwell drawer have been lined with a lively sapphire blue floral wallpaper (as found). Whether used as its intended purpose, or as an accent or bedside table, we’re sure the desk will infuse your home with inspiration and character.
