ANTIQUE ENGLISH WOODEN GILTED DESK CLERKS LETTER RACK ORGANISER

Antiques of London

A decorative antique English wooden desk letter rack or clerk's organiser, beautifully crafted with a warm polished wood finish and ornate gilt detailing. The piece features multiple vertical compartments with shaped dividers, ideal for sorting letters, documents, stationery, invoices, or desk papers.

The sides and front base are embellished with raised gilt ornamentation in a scrolling foliate design, giving the rack a refined Victorian or Edwardian desk-top character. The shaped side panels and curved dividers add an elegant architectural rhythm, while the rich wood grain brings warmth and depth to the piece.

There are signs of age and use, including light surface marks, minor wear to the wood, and rubbing or small losses to the gilded decoration, all consistent with its antique nature. Both practical and decorative, this organiser would make a handsome addition to a writing desk, library, study, reception area, or antique office display.

A charming English wooden letter rack with gilt decoration, perfect for collectors of antique desk accessories and period office pieces.

Delivery pricing on the listing

The price shown on the listing is just a guide. Please get in touch with us directly to request a quote before buying and not after.

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote.

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Worldwide Shipping

We offer to coordinate and schedule deliveries to the rest of the world, all you need to do is send us your Postcode/Zip-code, and we will send you a quote.

Delivery can take 2-4 weeks within Europe and Air freight for countries outside of the EU; on some rare occasions, it can take slightly longer.

Sea freight delivery can take anywhere between 6-12 weeks.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear.

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
