I was playing around with my camera the other day and took a photo with candle light of a writing desk I inherited from my mom. My parents got it back in the 60s.

That looks gorgeous- both the picture and the desk.

That is a wonderful picture & great looking desk! I am sure your Mother would be very pleased to see it looking so well loved & used. I also use a desk that had been my Mother's for 60+ years. She would NOT be pleased to see how I have cluttered it with ink bottles, wells & other things I like @ hand. She used ONLY Skrip Royal Blue & MIGHT have had an extra bottle in a drawer BUT would NOT have seen the need of additional bottles. ( I think you deserve an ink well for having & "keeping" such a great desk.)

Thanks. I also have my Dad's desk which was my grandfathers desk. But it won't fit in my 8x8 office like the writing desk. I have it in a cluttered office above my garage. My Dad used a Scheaffer fountain pen that the got in 1979. I actually found the receipt the other day, he had also bought me a Targa which I still have and use. I found 2 bottles of ink and his pen in the desk when we moved him. Unfortunately, I toss the Skrip bottles (late 70s) that had the lip inside. I was thinking you could still buy them. I was worried that they would leak. But I still have a blue Skrip that I got in the 80s.

 

Here's my grandfather at his desk around 1950:

This is what I call a desk.

The computers had to finally move back in.

I finally got my desk where I want it, and I'm all moved in! My daughter gave me the jewelry armoire next to it for an early Mother's Day gift. There's a small cabinet with a machinist's tool chest (from Costco) nearby, but it didn't fit in the picture.

Your desk looks GREAT! I know you must be excited to have everything "at hand" & you will certainly have fun filling up that jewelry chest.

Enjoy!

Love this thread, surely there must be some more gorgeous desks out there for us to see

Wow, nice desk and nice picture. First thought was to make it my windows desktop background ... Would that be allowed?

What a beautiful setup on a cold, winter's night...

I start to breath slower just looking at this picture!

My very basic standing desk. It's easy to keep the floor clean around it!

 

Clearly it's mainly given-over to computing but on the small bottle-shelf, left to right: Aurora blue, Visconti green, Um er Quink blue, Visconti brown.

 

On the note-pad: Parker Sonette Ciselle and to the left thereof: Parker 45.

 

I'm learning various languages and other materials and use hand-writing as a rote-memorisation tool.

As is.

Before work at home.

Wait, those look like the same desk... but the computer with the white keyboard has a black phone and the white phone is with the black keyboard? -- And good job keeping a clean desk! I'm sure my desk is somewhere under the stacks of papers.

Okay, we did this for a publicity shot for a new venture, but this is the conference room desk, with my files at my office.
