AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Captivating mid-20th-century office desk (circa 1950s-60s), perfectly embodying the functional elegance of Mid-Century Modern design. The piece has undergone a professional conservative restoration that has enhanced its original beauty.
Details and Structure:
The desk is made of solid and veneered walnut wood, with a warm amber hue. It features a highly refined asymmetric configuration:
• On the left: an open compartment ideal for books or documents, above a three-drawer cabinet.
• In the center: a large central under-drawer, equipped with the original brass lock (key included).
• The structure is completed by an elegant and functional chrome-plated tubular footrest, typical of the rationalist period.
The Top:
The focal point of the desk is the expansive work surface, which has been restored with a new, high-quality forest green faux leather, finished with a delicate gold Greek key impressed along the perimeter, exactly like the original of the era.
Hardware:
All the drawer handles are original, solid satin-brass, and have been cleaned and polished.
Conditions:
The piece is in excellent vintage condition, ready to be placed in a study, an office, or a living room. The restoration removed signs of time, preserving the original patina of the wood. The drawers slide perfectly. Please carefully view the photos, which are an integral part of the description.
