The 1890s were dominated by vintage designs. In fashion, the main elements were long lines and elegant details. In furniture, the basic elements are the same. Elegance, at that time, was the equivalent of quality and most designs featured a uniform, continuous look. The Quartermasters Vintage Desk is a good example. It has a monochromatic design and there are no striking contrasts. However, it has that elegance specific to that period.
