Regular price £895

per 
The Chichester writing desk has a Georgian-inspired simplicity, with elegant rectangular proportions that’ll fit neatly against a wall. Its smooth oak top and single drawer make it a practical desk, but it’s versatile enough to use as a dressing table or console, too. The carved supports under the drawer front and the mouldings throughout add an understated flourish.

Available now
  • Made with durable mortise-and-tenon joinery.
  • Solid oak protected with Natural Oak IsoGuard.
  • Spacious soft-close drawer on concealed runners.
  • Discreet feet glides prevent floor marks.
  • Hand-finished with a customisable eggshell paint.
 

Design inspiration

Our co-founder John and creative founder Emma turned to antique shops and reclamation yards to furnish their first home. They were drawn to classic Georgian furniture, and the pieces they chose inspired Chichester – our first interior collection. This influence is evident in Chichester’s traditional farmhouse feel and its defining features including elegant proportions, decorative mouldings and carved skirting.
