About
This exquisite desk was made in the early 20th century by a talented artisan from Northern China. The 20th century was an interesting period for art and furniture making. Eastern and western designers were influencing one another. This elmwood seven-drawer desk is an example of this cultural melding at its finest, creating a design that feels unique but familiar.
