ORIENTAL CHINOISERIE GREEN & GOLD CARLTON DESK WITH MATCHING ARMCHAIR

Antiques of London

We are delighted to offer for sale this is no ordinary desk and chair; it's a dazzling Oriental Chinoiserie ensemble, a testament to artistry and functional design. The Carlton desk, a hallmark of organised elegance, is the centrepiece, bathed in a rich palette of deep green and shimmering gold. The green forms a luxurious lacquered base, setting the stage for the intricate Chinoiserie detailing.

Across its surface, hand-painted or gilded scenes unfold: pagodas nestled amongst misty mountains, exotic birds perched on blossoming branches, and figures in traditional robes. Crucially, this Carlton desk boasts lots of storage. Its distinctive horseshoe shape is packed with a multitude of drawers and compartments, each offering a place for everything, from correspondence to cherished mementoes. 

The matching armchair completes the set, harmonising perfectly with the desk's aesthetic. Featuring a curved back adorned with gilded foliage, it offers both comfort and visual cohesion. The newly upholstered fabric ensures a fresh and inviting seat, complementing the desk's colour scheme and adding a touch of modern luxury to the timeless Chinoiserie design. It's a statement piece that transforms any room into a haven of sophisticated style, offering not only beauty but also unparalleled functionality.

Condition report

We always try to picture our items as well as possible to show you any imperfections or damages, if there are any.

The pictures play a big part in the description, so please view them carefully before purchasing.

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.
