The desk is solid wood and notably heavy, finished in a hand-applied faux wood–grain painted finish, a common and intentional decorative technique used in mid-century American furniture to achieve a consistent, refined appearance. The finish presents as warm wood tone with visible grain detailing.

The desk features a double pedestal design with an asymmetrical drawer layout. One pedestal contains standard utility drawers, while the opposite pedestal includes a deep filing drawer, offering excellent storage for a home office, library, or study. Gracefully contoured drawer fronts, decorative base molding, and original antique brass batwing hardware reflect the enduring craftsmanship of the period.

Painted drawer interiors and traditional wood-on-wood drawer runners are consistent with quality American manufacture of the era.

The filing drawer retains its original file follower system, consisting of a wooden follower panel guided by a central metal rod. This system is designed to sit freely and becomes fully functional once hanging files are placed inside, helping keep files upright and organized. The drawer is designed for letter-size hanging files.

A solid, well-built desk with timeless traditional appeal and functional storage. See less
