Description from the seller
Description
Object presentation
Elegant and sturdy writing desk (or work table) made entirely of solid wood, characterized by a sober and functional design typical of European rustic craftsmanship from the early 20th century. This piece combines the warmth of natural wood with a robust structure, making it perfect both as a desk for a study and as an accent table in an entryway or living room.
Construction Details and Materials
Top: Crafted from solid wood boards with a beautiful visible grain and an authentic patina that comes with time.
Legs: Four turned-section legs with decorative narrowing at the top, which give a touch of elegance to the otherwise austere structure.
Drawer: It features a roomy central drawer with the original metal/brass knob. Note the dovetail joints visible on the sides (photo DSC_0096), a mark of high-quality artisanal workmanship rather than industrial manufacture.
Conditions (State of Preservation)
The table is in good vintage condition, solid and ready to use.
Patina: Wood preserves the natural marks of time, which enhance its charm and authenticity.
Signs of use: There are a few small woodworm holes (treated/inactive), light nicks on the surface (visible in photos DSC_0093 and DSC_0097), and normal signs of wear consistent with the object's age.
Restoration: The finish is natural, ideal for those who love the 'wabi-sabi' style or for those who want to apply a protective wax or a personalized shabby chic treatment.
