German Oak Desk with Burled Walnut Accents, circa 1930

About the Item

Beautiful from every angle, this German desk showcases a rectangular top over a single drawer flanked by two pedestals. The top features a beveled edge and leather writing surface at the center. The pedestals feature arched doors with recessed burled walnut panels. A slight reverse breakfront is created as the pedestals have outset pieces on the face corners with recessed panels in burled walnut. The left pedestal opens to three newer slide-out shelves. The right pedestal opens to three newer sliding drawers. Recessed panels on the sides, back, and inside kneehole add depth and dimension. Elegant brass pulls adorn the drawer and doors. The desk is raised on melon bun feet. Kneehole dimensions: W 20.75" x H 23.75".
