A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine English campaign desk by a known London maker — an enduring, functional antique that elevates any space with history and character.
An exceptional authentic English campaign-style writing desk by Mordan & Co, a respected London maker known for producing high-quality travel and military furniture for British officers and gentlemen.
Crafted from solid hardwood, this rare desk features an original leather writing surface with gold tooling, brass corner guards, and original brass hardware. The hinged top opens smoothly to reveal organized interior storage compartments and a functional writing surface, making it both highly practical and deeply collectible.
Campaign furniture was designed to be durable, elegant, and portable for use by officers and diplomats while traveling or on campaign. Today, authentic examples are increasingly sought after by collectors and interior designers for refined home offices, studies, and luxury interiors.
The interior retains its original maker’s plaque:
Mordan & Co — Makers — London
This piece is not a reproduction and presents beautifully, with age-appropriate patina consistent with genuine antique campaign furniture.
