Serge Chermayeff One-of-a-Kind Curved Desk from the BBC Building 1930s

Mahogany frame. Tubluar copper base with verdigris patina. Copper pulls also with verdigris patina. Three locking drawers on one side, open shelves on the opposite side. Truly unique design, absolutely jaw-dropping form, wonderful scale, and outstanding presence.
