19th Century French Rosewood Writing Desk
This elegant antique French writing desk combines fine craftsmanship with charming character. Resting on graceful cabriole legs, it features a sloped fall-front with intricate veneer work, brass mounts (originally with decorative plaques), and a central oval medallion. The veneer shows some age-related marks and light chipping, which only enhance its antique charm and authenticity.
Inside, the desk reveals thoughtful craftsmanship: three small drawers and a sliding panel that conceals a hidden compartment—perfect for storing letters or valuables. The writing surface is fitted with a red tooled leather insert, beautifully aged and still very usable.
• Style: French, 19th Century
• Features: Fall-front design, cabriole legs, brass mounts, red tooled leather writing surface
• Interior: Three drawers, sliding panel with hidden compartment
• Condition: Good antique condition; some wear and veneer chipping consistent with age
Dimensions: 89.5 cm wide, 52.5cm deep, 92cm high and 70cm high to writing leaf
A refined yet practical piece, this desk would make a striking addition to any study, library, or living space—offering both beauty and a touch of intrigue with its secret compartment.

Absolutely gorgeous blanket box with a beautiful professional finish. Every detail was thought out. Delighted.
old gold glass topped bedside table
This is the second time we've bought off Upcite and will always return. This time around, we bought a Victorian Mahogany Chest Of Drawers (£429 including P&P) from Timeless Furniture LTD UK. We contacted Timeless Furniture (Wrexham) through the messages section and they (Dave) were super helpful in confirming P&P will be covered their end but also went out of their way to coat the chest of drawers with another round of woodworm treatment, which was much appreciated. The drawers had been treated before but Dave offered to do it again to allay our concerns. So, once they confirmed this we punched it. The drawers then arrived via courier about a week later and packed very well, arriving in one piece and no damage. Highly recommend Upcite and Timeless Furniture LTD UK. Pete
The nest of tables are very tastefully done, they are the final piece of furniture in our living room and we're very happy with them. Comms with J&M were great and the tables were packaged very well so arrived in perfect condition. We will definitely buy from UpCite and J&M again when we next need a beautiful piece of furniture. Many thanks
An absolutely stunning, one-of-a-kind vintage cabinet, lovingly restored by Julie and Mark, whose craftsmanship and attention to detail really shine through. The delivery process, unfortunately, didn’t go to plan, with damage caused by the courier, but both Cole at Upcite and Julie and Mark were incredibly supportive throughout. They pushed to have the piece properly repaired and kept me updated the whole way. Thanks to their persistence and care, the cabinet looks just as gorgeous in my home as I’d hoped. A true statement piece

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
