Description from the seller
Table / Writing Desk for Architecture or Public Administration – Solid Hardwood – First Half of the XX Century (ca. 1920–1940)
Description
Fascinating and solid period table/writing desk dating to the first half of the XX century (roughly 1920s–1940s), characterized by a sober and elegant industrial/administrative style.
Made of solid wood with warm and dark tones, this piece stands out for its clean lines, truncated-pyramid legs, and a wide work surface slightly recessed with a shaped edge.
Details and Features:
Front drawers: Equipped with two roomy sliding drawers with dovetail joints, perfect for storing documents or office supplies.
Handles and Locks: Both drawers feature original boat-shaped handles in brass/metallic silver of the era and recessed locks with an impressed mark (CAP). Note: keys are not present.
Structure: Extremely robust and stable, ideal as a long dining table, display counter/shopfitting, or a spacious study desk.
Condition of the Furniture
Overall condition: Good period-appropriate conservational condition, solid and ready to use.
Patina and signs of age: The top and the frame display a splendid lived-in patina, with light superficial scratches and small signs of wear visible in photos (particularly on the edges of the top), which attest to its authenticity and history without compromising beauty or functionality.
