Description from the seller
Elegant Center Desk in Spanish Renaissance Style – Walnut Wood – 20th Century
Refined writing desk (or center table) in walnut wood, characterized by a solid and elegant design that recalls the Spanish Baroque style, with the characteristic lyre legs.
The piece features a rectangular top with a finely carved edge in semicircular geometric motifs. The lower trim houses two front drawers with original metal burnished handles. The distinctive element is the base: the shaped legs are connected by a central crisscross crosspiece with a wavy profile, which gives extreme stability and a strong decorative impact.
Thanks to the finish on all sides, the piece can be positioned perfectly even in the center of the room.
Technical Details
Material: Solid walnut wood.
Era: Mid-20th century.
Style: Renaissance / Spanish.
Accessories: 2 functional drawers.
Conditions (Please view the photos carefully)
The piece is structurally solid and ready for use.
Top: It features a beautiful natural patina with light signs of aging and small superficial scratches consistent with its age.
Structure: There are old wood-boring beetle holes (visible especially in detail photos DSC_0144 and DSC_0145), located mainly on the base and feet. The piece has been pre-treated, but the holes have been left as a testimony to its authenticity and lived history.
Restoration: No structural work required, only a possible waxing to enhance the luster of the walnut.
