Beautiful wrap-around Midcentury Modern executive desk with a conference-size overhang. Part of the "Template Collection" designed by Charles Deaton for Leopold in 1961. Rand & Leopold Desk Company was an office furniture manufacturing firm that operated out of Burlington, Iowa, for 102 years before closing in 1990. The pull-out writing tablet is signed "Leopold of Burlington, Iowa." Superior quality, this sleek desk was crafted of walnut with matching edge grain walnut veneer. The top, front panels, and sides appear to be solid wood. Minimal wear and tear given its age.
The desk presents as nearly new at first sight and one must do a close-up inspection to find any minor flaws; a minor darkened spot on top of the sideboard that is nearly imperceptible since the grain is also dark; a 3" long section of edge wear on the sideboard, right near the desk's inside corner, likely from a desk chair rubbing against it; and the legs on the front corner need a fresh screw where they attach to the underside of the desk–right now. There are no scratches anywhere on the desk and the finish is original. This desk does not need restoration to be a showpiece. Appears to have all its dividers for the drawers. Has the original key for the lock. All the drawers work perfectly. It's truly in fantastic shape!
The original hardware has been put back on the desk, though additional holes have been drilled for replacement knobs by a previous owner (it came with its original knobs stored in a bottom drawer, and I put them back on. These could easily be filled or replaced with hardware from Rejuvenation that update the desk and cover the holes. The price of the desk reflects this as a minor issue, because it is easily covered without the need for restoration.
Condition: This desk is in near-perfect condition considering its age. There are some small knicks here and there along both its top and vertical edges, but nothing that detracts from the desk presenting as being in beautiful condition. These could be lightly sanded out and easily smoothed if a new owner wanted to do a complete restoration back to new. However, based on the cost of such an effort, I don't think it would leave the desk looking much different since it already presents as looking nearly new. The most significant wear is the rub mark on the inside edge of the corner board and even that is not immediately noticeable from up close. Feel free to contact me for more photos of it in detail.
