Due to the bulk of scrolls and other manuscripts from centuries past, most antique desks were typically large so that they could accommodate these documents and materials. More recently, desks have gone beyond their practical function and are now considered hallmarks of quality interior decoration.
Artisans typically made them with different woods, including mahogany, birch, oak, cherry, and walnut.
