Definition: Writing Table

Writing Table

Noun

1. A desk used for writing.

Synonyms: Writing Table

Synonyms: escritoire (n), secretaire (n), secretary (n). (additional references)

A writing table is usually a desk with a series of drawers directly under the surface of the table, to contain writing implements. Antique versions have the usual divisions for the inkpot, the blotter and the sand or powder tray in one of the drawers, and a surface covered with leather or some other material less hostile to the Quill or the Fountain pen than simple hard wood.

In form, a writing table is a Pedestal desk without the pedestals, having legs instead to hold it up. This is why such tables are sometimes called leg desks. However, in some circles the term Leg desk is reserved for desks which have a shorter leg than writing tables, since the extremities each have another drawer under the series of drawers directly under the desktop.

The writing table is often called a "Bureau plat" when it is done in a French style such as Louis XVI, Art Nouveau, etc.

The writing table is also sometimes called a library table, because it was often placed in a rich individual's library. This was the room in a house where a gentleman would keep literature and also do his business transactions. The library often housed, in addition, a round desk called a Rent table and sometimes a Drawing table.

Some writing tables have additional drawers built above the surface. In this case they are often called Bureau a gradin instead of writing table, unless they have a more specific form, such as that of a Carlton house desk.
