Italian Mid-Century Wooden and Glass Writing Desk

About the Item

Cute wooden writing desk of fine Italian manufacture from the 1950s. The desk is made in the frame entirely of fine, light-coloured wood. The legs supporting the structure are long, cylindrical in shape. The two rear ones are thicker, to support the weight of the structure; the front ones are thinner, a not inconsiderable touch of style! Immediately above the legs we see a smooth top made of beautiful wood, which creates a very beautiful and useful compartment. Above this top we see a glass top, attached to the frame with two brass mechanisms in the original patina of the time, very beautiful. The glass shelf at the back shows an elegant wooden panel painted with a mix pattern typical of the period. Very exuberant. Centrally on the wooden top there is a small, clearly visible drawer for storing documents or useful objects for writing. The desk is suitable for exuberant study rooms.
