Art Deco Walnut Desk, 1940s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

An original Art Deco desk from the 1940s. This piece has a dignified design with robust and stylish proportions and a dazzling Walnut pattern to it’s table top, sides, doors and drawers.

This writing / office desk has a rectangle table top with two softly curved edges at the front. This is supported by two cupboards with gently curving lockable doors.

One cupboard has two fixed shelves and the other has four drawers. Between them there is a one sliding drawer which can also be locked. The whole piece is standing on a slightly curved base.

This piece was sourced in Brno, Czech Republic. It is believed that this table was part of a bespoke project for a study. The designer / producer of the desk is unfortunately unknown to us. However the quality of the materials, the perfect attention to every detail indicates that it is likely to be a bespoke project of the local manufacturers and one of the leading furniture producers in Europe at the time - UP Brno Factory - where the iconic architects Jan Vanek and later Jindrich Halabala worked as designers and Art directors.

This desk is in great vintage condition with only minimal wear wear and tear. Recent restoration has fully revived the extremely rich colour of the entire piece, showing off the beautiful walnut patterns on all surfaces. The entire piece has been hand finished by Shellac and Nitro varnishes in order to achieve its original gloss finish. There are some small colour marks on the wood inside the middle drawer.

This piece is truly marvellous example of the sophisticated design and high standards of furniture production in Czechoslovakia of the early 20th Century.
