The sculptural design of the sides is very original is characterised by interrupted linear surfaces, the front is characterised by the presence of six large drawers with a refined projecting front which open thanks to a special groove carved in the lower front part, the back of the desk is truly impressive, the central recessed part is embellished with a fine maple inlay.
The desk is in really good conditions considering that it still maintains the original finish, the beautiful grain of the walnut has over time taken on a fascinating patina with warm tones.
There are some small signs of wear which do not detract from the overall beauty of this desk. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
