The Resolute Presidential Desk is a refined replica of the iconic desk used in the Oval Office of the White House. The original was crafted from the timbers of HMS Resolute, a British Arctic exploration ship returned to England by the United States as a gesture of goodwill. In 1880, Queen Victoria presented one of the desks made from its wood to President Rutherford B. Hayes, and it has since been used by many U.S. Presidents.
Our Resolute Presidential Desk is handcrafted from plantation-grown, certified legal mahogany. Known for its rich grain and workability, Indonesian mahogany allows for detailed carvings faithful to the historic design. The desk is fully customizable in a variety of finishes and can be ordered with a plain wood top or leather inlays.
