Fashion trends keep changing from time to time and this fact is not only true of clothes and accessories and this trend is also true for furnishing, upholstery and every other significant part of human life.

M.S. Rau antiques have an exclusive piece of furniture in the form of the 1810 English Globe Writing desk for all enthusiasts of antique furniture. This writing desk has been created by Morgan & Sanders and is a perfect model of the fashion and trend that was in vogue during the 1800’s.

The 1810 English Globe Writing desk is an example of the trend of exploration and learning of new places in the world. Every sophisticated individual in society wanted to be seen as a well informed and much traveled person and wanted their own map globes.

As a offshoot to the idea of having handmade globes, the designers of that age came up with the idea of making writing desks which besides having the shape of a globe also doubled up as a writing place.

The 1810 English Globe writing desk was made using exclusive mahogany wood and had compartments and drawers that could store paper, ink and other writing material. The writing top could be adjusted at different angles to suit the writer.

This writing desk when closed up resembled a globe on a stand. The stand was fitted with wheels and it could be moved around with ease. Its exclusivity and unique design was a hit with many from high society and found special favor with the army and navy officers.

This particular piece which is with Rau antiques is in excellent shape and condition and is a unique piece which does not have any imitations much like this extraordinary writing desk.
