Description from the seller
Italian solid wood Mid-Century desk – 1950s/1960s
Elegant and refined Italian artisanal desk dating from the 1950s–60s, made of solid wood and characterized by a particularly harmonious line, perfectly representative of Italian Mid-Century taste.
The most interesting feature consists of the two side flip-up leaves, which can be raised as needed, greatly increasing the usable surface. When closed it remains compact in size with a very decorative silhouette; once opened it becomes a practical work surface or desk.
The piece features a central drawer with a knob, elegant turned legs connected at the bottom by a crosspiece, also worked, and shaped feet that give lightness and momentum to the whole. Particularly pleasing are the grain and the different warm tones of the wood, enhanced by the patina gained over time.
A versatile accessory with great charm, ideal as a small desk, console, entryway table, or decorative element in classic, eclectic, boho chic, or contemporary settings, where it can create a refined contrast between antique and modern.
Dimensions:
h eight about 67 cm
maximum width with the flip leaves open about 92 cm
depth about 44 cm
The piece preserves the charm and the natural signs of time typical of an authentic vintage item, elements that underline its character and originality.
Unrestored, it presents its original condition with superficial signs of use.
A refined example of Italian craftsmanship from the second postwar period—decorative, functional, and increasingly sought after by Mid-Century furniture enthusiasts.
It will be carefully packed and protected for transport, with tracked shipping.
