Introducing the Desk Wimbledon, a refined piece from The Met x Eichholtz collection.

Inspired by an elegant design for a Louis XVI period–style desk (ca. 1900–14), our interpretation characterized by four slender balusters shaped legs and five drawers is finished in a black waxed finish. Its historical charm seamlessly blends with modern sophistication, offering a timeless and elegant addition to your workspace.

HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Desk Wimbledon draws inspiration from an exquisite Louis XVI period–style desk (ca. 1900–14) by Mewès and Davis (active London and Paris, from 1900). Characterized  by slender baluster-shaped legs and adorned with details, our vision captures the timeless sophistication of the watercolor over graphite drawing in The Met collection. The influence of the original is evident in our desk’s ebony finish and intricate detailing, embodying a legacy of refined artisanship.

How to care for wood veneer TEST

Veneer furniture is covered in a thin layer of real hardwood. Veneers are often used in high end furniture pieces and can be more costly than solid wood. Mid 20th century it became especially popular in interiors when teak wood was often used for Danish design furniture.

To fully enjoy your wood veneer furniture, please follow a few basic rules:

Cleaning and maintenance

Wood veneer requires gentle care to preserve the finish. Dust regularly and clean with a soft dry cloth.

Remove spills immediately as moisture can cause the veneer to peel off the surface. Prevent moisture from getting underneath the veneer by quickly and thoroughly cleaning up any spills. In case of water rings, rub the area with naphtha. Follow up with an application of oil or petroleum jelly to completely erase the mark.
