Secretary Desk Attributed to Gio Ponti

About the Item

Wonderful Italian pear wood secretary featuring a reverse painted glass top supported by compass like legs ending in heavy brass sabots. Above the desk are book shelves and an off center cabinet featuring a gilt wood and gesso frieze. Would make a wonderful desk or personally i'd use it as a bar.
