NOW SOLD Vintage TEAK DESK Esjing Mobelfabrik DENMARK Label
NOW SOLD For sale here is fantastic desk with 3 drawers. The desk is done in a rich teak wood and is labeled Ejsing Mobelfabrik Denmark. . I am unfamiliar with the label or maker, however it is clear the designer was clearly influenced by Arne Vodder and his stunning desks . This desk is finished front and back so it can be used up against a wall or centred in a room or space. The 3 side drawers provide plenty of storage. The dovetail drawer construction, sculptural drawer pulls, tapered legs and stunning grain selection for the top , also scream classic mid-century modern Danish design. The measurements for the desk are as follows: It measures 39 ¼ inches long, the 23 ¼ inches wide, and 29 inches tall. The desk does have some condition issues, There is an older veneer chip to one drawer front that someone has made an attempt to repair (it could probably be done better with someone with some skills) . There are also some filled screw holes to one side panel and a screw still in the back side just under the desk top. (can be seen in the pictures) The teak top has taken on a warm patina and highlights the fantastic matching grain patterns of the top. Not perfect by any means, but still a very nice vintage piece. This is a tour de force of the functional austere design that is so typical of the Mid Century Danish / Scandinavian Modern design movement. It also would greatly compliment any Eames Mid Century styled living space, or adding a slightly retro accent to any contemporary room. Don’t miss ouT NOW SOLD
