A rare Mid-Century Modern writing bureau/secretaire desk in teak, circa 1950's.
A rare Mid-Century Modern writing bureau/secretaire desk in teak
This special Danish-influenced teak bureau/desk features a vibrant teak wood grain, a slide-out writing desk and two tambour doors revealing a fitted interior, dovetail drawers, and mail slots above three large drawers with elegantly sculpted handles and a solid teak base. The top drawer has a cleverly designed hidden lock.
The design is rather similar to that of Johannes Sorth, for Bornholms Mobelfabrik in Denmark and is most likely a Danish design, looking at the design, workmanship and quality.
It has been cleaned to ensure it lives on for many more years to come. All of our products will show signs of patina and cosmetic wear which we are happy with and believe that it gives our products a charm of their own. Very good vintage condition, it has been lightly refurbished and sealed.
Height: 98 cm (total) 74 cm (desk)
Width: 80 cm
Depth: 25 cm (top)
Depth: 44,5 cm (middle)
Pull-out slide dimensions: Depth 37cm x Width 76cm
We found an old electric bill lost in the back between panels while cleaning dating back to 1968, London, UK. We love these special finds!
