About the Item

A meticulously crafted 1950s solid wood desk attributed to Paola Buffa. Buffa’s eye for detail is highlighted through its elegant form: a rectangular top with softly rounded corners, supported by four sturdy wooden legs. Two drawers with spherical pulls offer storage space without disrupting the desk's refined silhouette. Versatile in its design, it serves equally well as a writing desk or a petite console. Excellent vintage condition. This desk has been fully refinished by our team of restorationists. Both drawers function smoothly.
