A Symbol of History. A Desk for Generations.
The Resolute Desk is one of the most famous desks in the world — carved from the timbers of the HMS Resolute and gifted by Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880. Since then, it has stood in the Oval Office as a symbol of leadership, diplomacy, and history.
Craftsmanship Meets Legacy
Every Resolute Desk we produce is:
- Handcrafted from Teak or Mahogany.
- Designed with classic carvings that echo the historic desk.
- Finished in your choice of polished, satin, stained, or antique tones.
- Completed with a replica of the original brass plate, connecting your desk to history.
At Glenn Furniture, we honor that legacy by crafting Resolute-inspired desks with the same attention to detail, timeless design, and heirloom quality. Each desk is built in Indonesia by master woodworkers, using only premium hardwoods, and can be customized to suit your exact needs.

Additional Pieces
The first — and most famous — desk often rests in the Oval Office at the White House. But the HMS Resolute was a large ship, and the Queen actually ordered three desks to be constructed from the ship’s timber. The second desk is much smaller and more modest in comparison to the US President’s desk.
