SOLD. DANISH Modern TEAK DESK Sliding Top and Drawers LABELED G.V. Denmark RETRO Like ARNE VODDER

THIS IS NOW SOLD For sale here is a a stunning desk with sliding drop-leaf top and sliding drawers, done in a rich teak wood. It is stamped “G.V. Made In Denmark”. I am unfamiliar with the mark, however I have seen an identical desk online attributed to ARNE VODDER. I don’t think that Vodder actually designed this desk as I cannot find any other of Vodder’s pieces with this marking, however whoever did design it was clearly influenced by Vodders Model 51A desk he designed for P. Olsen Siblast Mobler of Denmark. Some of the unique design features of this desk are its sliding drop leaf top. The top slides on a wooden rail system to have the drop leaf extended for more desk space, or have it down when less space is needed. My favorite design feature of the desk is that the drawers are also on a similar sliding rail system so that they can be slid to one side of the desk or to the other. It is such a clever feature made to accommodate left handed and right handed people equally well. The, dovetail drawer construction, tapered solid teak legs, and sculptural drawer pulls also scream classic mid-century modern Danish design. The measurements for the desk are as follows: With the Drop leaf extended the top measures 64 inches long, with the leaf dropped it measures 49 inches long, the desk is 24 inches wide, and 28 ¼ inches tall. The desk is in fantastic vintage condition. The desk shows some minor general use wear here and there consistent with a well cared for piece of this age. The teak has taken on a warm patina that can only come with age and proper care over the years and highlights the fantastic matching grain patterns of the top. 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. If the original Arne Vodder Model 51A desk, that clearly influenced the design of this desk, is a bit out of your price range at the $8000 price tag that it is listed at all over the internet, then this desk at a lower price but featuring all the unique design features is the one for you.
