Barley Twist Desk

The Barley Twist Desk is a throwback to the British Raj, and a time when there was drive to industrialize and modernize the Indian sub-continent from one end to the other. This Desk is based on a design that was in the Station Head’s Office in one of the larger Railway Junction Cities in North India – and is perfect for use in many different settings. It can easily double up as a small conference table, as there is plenty of clearance to draw up chairs on either side. The Barley Twist Desk desk has many small but impressionable details. First, you will absolutely love the marble top, the spiral table legs are beautifully handcrafted with painstaking details and the base with a double “Y” adds structural integrity and strengthens the desk overall. The drawers are practical, and just right to keep the top clutter-free. Wisteria products are primarily handmade at small artisanal facilities in a traditional manner, in small batch quantities, or often as an individually made-to-order item if it is a part of our custom or bespoke program. Naturally - this means products may have variations between two items that may have been made in a separate batch or at a different time. Thus, minor imperfections are part of the patina for these products. We want to share this with you so that you know what to expect and be proud of the uniqueness of your purchase. This is quintessential Wisteria and very much part of the DNA of us and our products. Several pieces in the line are also finished in a distressed or rustic style, and this style lends itself to showing off wood imperfections, distinct wood grains, and notches more readily than what a typical stain or finish would disguise. As patrons of the brand, we know you appreciate this difference - unlike many of our larger competitors who bring you factory-made products that are mass manufactured in state-of-the-art factories - we are focused on individual and small craftsmen for their artisanal skills that have been handed from generation to generation with a sense of passion and purpose.
