What is the difference between a transitional and a traditional style bow-front desk?

Traditional bow-front desks feature raised panel doors, prominent molding profiles, ornate hardware (antique brass or oil-rubbed bronze), and rich dark finishes like mahogany or dark cherry — they evoke formal, old-world executive offices. Transitional style bow-front desks blend traditional proportions with cleaner detailing — simpler moldings, brushed nickel or matte black hardware, and medium-tone finishes that work in both contemporary and classic environments. If you're unsure which style suits your office, transitional is the safer, more versatile choice.
