This is the desk of my fountain pen-loving dreams. It’s a courthouse desk from Kingston, Ontario from 1870. I’ve always loved big clunky furniture. Calling this work of art clunky is just rude, but it is a beast of a desk. An incredible beast of a desk. A beautiful beautiful beast.

The little cubicles would be perfect for ink bottles and pens. Notecards.

The shelves for letters of friends and loved ones, letterhead, and any other stationery paraphernalia I can dream of.

I have no idea what they used this open shelf for in the 1800s, but it’s screaming laptop storage to me. Those little drawers have locks on them as do the doors. Locks! Wonderful! The secrets this desk has kept hidden. The treasures!

These big storage compartments would be perfect for cardstock and holding tools to make envelopes. The possibilities are endless.

It does however come with a steep price tag. I hope it comes home with me one day.
