An exceptional, museum-quality executive desk and matching armchair, representing the distinctive design language of Lajos Kozma and one of the most remarkable periods of Hungarian decorative arts.

Crafted from solid black walnut with thick-cut natural walnut veneer, the ensemble demonstrates outstanding craftsmanship and exceptional attention to detail.

The monumental desk features an elaborately carved front with a central decorative medallion, flowing Baroque ornamentation and sculptural detailing. The reverse side incorporates three lockable drawers, including two larger side drawers and a slimmer central drawer.

Particularly distinctive are the dynamically curved, hand-carved legs with characteristic horse-hoof terminals, a signature feature of Kozma’s unique Baroque-inspired designs, repeated on the matching armchair.

The armchair retains its elegant curved wooden armrests and has been professionally reupholstered in luxurious Italian Minotti Jacquard fabric, with its traditional spring construction carefully restored.

Both pieces have undergone meticulous, conservation-focused restoration, preserving their original character and historical integrity.

A rare and highly collectible ensemble of exceptional significance in Hungarian Art Deco period furniture design.
