On the old Queen Juliana ferry boat from Harwich to Hook van Holland, traditional 1920s luxury still trumped 60s economy, which was evident both at a luxurious restaurant and in the office of the purser. The man himself, gently smiling like an urbane Dutch bishop, was seated behind a monstrous desk. At his back showed an equally large cabinet made up of spaces to hold keys, mail, fresh newspapers, menus, and the occasional telegram brought in by a messenger boy from the vessel’s radio room. Before retiring to our 2-berth luxury cabin (having consumed delicious entrecôtes and a fragrant Beaujolais-Villages) we checked out the purser’s cabinet again, which had definitely taken our fancy! Three wonderful bookcases for storing novels? Hats and hand bags? Gloves and travel gear? Newspapers and keys? Your choice. And with three configurations at hand, one will make the fit!

You want something solid. Lived in and comfortable. Warm and rich looking. Soft and easy to the touch as if waxed and polished by generations of housemaids. Drawers to hold documents and treasures. Brass campaign corners to survive damage during challenging moves across the country or even oceans. After all, our furniture is made to travel well. three parts for easy transportation. lift-up center section to stash laptop and papers. enjoy twelve drawers.

Don’t be fooled by its elegant appearance. This desk holds some serious surprises and secrets. Two stacked units offer campaign style compact storage. No wasted space here… Create a workspace in close quarters by sliding out the desktop. Your knees will thank you. At the same time you access a secret document box in the back. Big enough to store personals, stacks of banknotes and your first love letters. Check out the lustrous French finish and the intricate joinery.

We like the feel of a faded and somewhat worn surface, waxed a hundred times. A varnish that looks like it has been treated with love and care. That lived-in feel is a definite draw. Wearing the decadence of an age now past with confidence. Introducing our smallest bookcase yet, fitting the small study of an apartment in the 16e arrondissement. Designed to survive a move from Paris to Djibouti and back, via steamer taking the Cape Town – Cherbourg route. Two drawers at the top for papers, keys, gloves…
