Mid-century modernist desk by Duros

This Duros mid-century modernist desk, inspired by Danish design, is a rare find and is crafted from sapele and mahogany. 

 

It features sculptural lipped handles on the drawers, three on each side, and a floating top design supported by beautifully elegant sculpted legs.

Freely positionable in a room. The sleek design offers plenty of workspace on the top as well as ample room for storage within its 6 wooden dovetailed drawers. Quality craftsmanship with a beautiful sapele and mahogany grain, the exposed angled legs and sculpted handles are key features of the desk. The design of this desk appears to be heavily influenced by Danish design. No keys.

 

Condition: Very Good — it has no defects, but it may show slight traces of use. It has been gently refurbished and refinished with high-quality products. Light veneer chips on the edges and corners have been smoothed and sealed. Very sturdy and structurally sound. Please take a look at the photographs for more detail.

 

Dimensions: H73 x W140 x D72 cm

 

As with most Mid-Century pieces, it is a good combination of solid wood and a high-quality wood veneer.
