AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and functional desk with a linear, geometric design typical of Italian furniture production in the 1970s. This piece stands out for its austere yet refined character, perfect for a professional office or for a home study corner in vintage or industrial style.
The structure is characterized by wide side panels "a spalla" that act as supports, giving the furniture an architectural and solid appearance. A feature of great aesthetic and practical value is the lower brass edging, which protects the base and provides a sophisticated point of light to the warmth of the wood.
Main features:
Functional Design: Equipped with a practical pull-out shelf on metal glides, ideal for a keyboard, laptop, or additional documents, which helps optimize the workspace.
Materials: Wood with visible grain, dark walnut finish. Base finished with a brass plinth.
Aesthetics: The front panel (frieze) is recessed to allow a comfortable seating position, making it also ideal as a centerpiece/console piece.
Condition:
The item is in good original vintage condition. It shows some signs of time and use consistent with its age, including:
Minor scratches and surface marks on the top surface and edges (as visible in the detail photos).
Small imperfections in the wood finish that do not compromise its stability or charm.
The pull-out shelf mechanism works perfectly.
