This is a very special solid oak writing desk that famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy designed for Mengel in the 1950. The desk is petite in stature, so it can fit anywhere. It could also be used as a vanity or as a console table in an entry way.
The desk is made of solid oak with gallery in the back, single drawer with original sleek aluminum handles, and square tapered legs. The current medium-brown walnut tone finish is newer, as the original finish was a lighter cerused white wash. Clean simple design that will easily blend in with other midcentury or contemporary designs. Signed Mengel inside the drawer.
The 1950 era desk is in very good vintage condition. The desk is sturdy and the drawer works well. Wood finish has normal age related wear. Please see photos for more details about condition.
The desk measures 30” wide, 18.5” deep, and 31.5” to the top of the gallery. The table height is 29.5” and the knee clearance is 23.75” tall and 26.5” wide.
Note: Matching small chest of drawers listed separately, if not already sold.
