Wooton Desk Reproductions

Faithfully Reproduced — Beautifully Reimagined

At Glenn Furniture, we specialize in the faithful reproduction of the legendary Wooton Patent Desk — one of the most admired creations of the 19th century.

Every desk we build is handcrafted in Jepara, Indonesia, using traditional joinery, solid hardwoods, and detailed carvings that honor the design genius of William S. Wooton while incorporating the precision and practicality of modern craftsmanship.


1. Our Philosophy

A true reproduction is not simply a copy — it is a rebirth.
Our goal is to preserve the soul of the original design while ensuring strength, stability, and usability for the next century.

Each Wooton desk reproduction begins with historical blueprints and photographic references from museum pieces, then progresses through modern CAD detailing to ensure perfect fit, alignment, and proportion.

“We recreate the past with today’s tools — but with the same patience and pride as the originals.”


2. Handcrafted in Jepara — The World’s Furniture Capital

Our workshops in Jepara, Central Java bring together generations of artisans skilled in classical carving, veneering, and fine finishing.

Each piece is built from solid mahogany or teak, with optional burl walnut and ebony veneer inlays, brass fittings, and hand-tooled leather writing surfaces.

We use only kiln-dried lumber and traditional joinery — dovetail drawers, mortise-and-tenon frames, and hand-applied finishes. The result is furniture that ages gracefully, just like the 19th-century originals.

  • Locking file drawers
  • Pull-out keyboard trays
