STORY

In the early 1950s, renowned American craftsman Henry Caldwell designed a desk for his law office in upstate New York—built to last, and made entirely from solid ash wood. Inspired by Shaker simplicity and colonial sturdiness, he chose exposed joinery and a hand-rubbed finish to showcase the natural grain. Over time, the piece aged beautifully, earning its patina through years of use and care.This revival piece stays true to Caldwell’s vision: crafted from premium white ash, finished with a protective varnish to enhance durability while preserving the wood’s rich texture and glow. The six drawers and single storage cabinet offer functional elegance, perfect for modern workspaces with a love for timeless Americana. Built with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery and a subtly distressed finish, it’s more than a desk—it’s a legacy reborn.

CARE

  • Care & Maintenance Tips – Because We Care About Your Desk for Years to Come
  • To keep your vintage-inspired desk looking and performing its best, here are a few easy tips:
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Long exposure can fade the beautiful ash wood grain. Place your desk away from direct windows when possible.
  • Clean Gently: Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or all-purpose cleaners—they can dull the protective finish.
  • Protect the Surface: Use coasters under drinks and pads under electronics. This helps prevent scratches and moisture rings.
  • Don’t Drag: Lift to move—dragging may damage joints or flooring.
  • Climate Counts: Keep in a stable indoor environment. Too much humidity or dryness can cause warping or cracking over time.
  • Check the Finish: Every year or so, give the wood a light polish with a wax-safe wood conditioner to keep its glow.
  • We crafted this piece to last—thank you for making it part of your home.
