About the Item

Impressive Ash Executive Desk, Early 20th Century Step into timeless sophistication with this stunning pre-war executive desk, crafted from richly toned ash wood and dating back to before 1939. A true statement piece, this grand desk stands on elegant, faceted legs. It features a beautifully balanced layout: dual columns of drawers flank a central under-top drawer, offering both symmetry and practicality. The spacious desktop is divided into three inlaid panels of black leatherette, each bordered with a fine gold trim that evokes classic executive style. Original brass escutcheons and handles adorn the drawers, which all lock with a single key for added convenience. One drawer has been discreetly fitted with modern runners for smoother function, blending historical charm with everyday usability. Visible traces of old woodworm—now professionally sealed with wax—attest to the desk’s authentic age and character. With its finished rear panel, this piece is designed to impress from every angle, making it ideal for center-room placement in an office, study, or boutique workspace. A rare find in unrestored yet usable condition, this desk seamlessly combines antique elegance with functional integrity—perfect for collectors, creatives, or professionals seeking a unique and prestigious workspace.
