My study is in shambles, I’m a bit of a wreck. We bought this 150 year old “Partner’s Desk” at a local restoration shop called the Shiny Sisters for $220. It has drawers and openings on both side.

These desks were made for British Banks who had a two-partner system for loans. They were built for the banks in the 1840’s and 1850’s. It is a beautiful old fashioned and sturdy desk, the price seemed irresistible to us. I am nervous about it, as I always am when anything in my study is moved around or changed.

They were made of the best hard wood and have lion knobs on all of the drawers. Maria decided it was time to completely re-organize my desk and throw out the clutter. So everything in my office is in chaos.

More later.
