Desk Wimbledon

Item no TM0066

Introducing the Desk Wimbledon, a refined piece from The Met x Eichholtz collection.

Inspired by an elegant design for a Louis XVI period–style desk (ca. 1900–14), our interpretation characterized by four slender balusters shaped legs and five drawers is finished in a black waxed finish. Its historical charm seamlessly blends with modern sophistication, offering a timeless and elegant addition to your workspace.

HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Desk Wimbledon draws inspiration from an exquisite Louis XVI period–style desk (ca. 1900–14) by Mewès and Davis (active London and Paris, from 1900). Characterized by slender baluster-shaped legs and adorned with details, our vision captures the timeless sophistication of the watercolor over graphite drawing in The Met collection. The influence of the original is evident in our desk's ebony finish and intricate detailing, embodying a legacy of refined artisanship.

Care Instructions

How to care for Lacquered Wood and High Gloss Finishes

Please follow a few basic rules to fully enjoy your lacquered or high gloss wood furniture:

• Avoid exposure to excessive sunlight, dampness and extreme temperature changes.
• Be careful not to leave a wet ring on the surface after watering flowers or plants.
• Don’t expose the furniture to scratches from pets or sharp objects.
• Use coasters and place felt pads under lamp bases and accessories.

 

Cleaning & Maintenance

To maintain the beauty of your luxury furniture, we recommend the following simple guidelines.

 

Lacquered Finish

Dust off regularly with a clean, soft dry cloth. For routine cleaning, mix a mild dishwashing detergent with lukewarm water. Dip a soft cloth into the mixture, wring it thoroughly and clean the furniture with it. The wood lacquer should not remain wet since water spots can damage the finish, so immediately wipe away the excess of water with a dry cloth.
