Restored Mid-Century Modern Writers Desk in Walnut with Leather Top, USA, 1960's
About the Item
Introducing an extraordinary writer's desk fresh out of our restoration shop. Originally built in the 1960's this minimalist desk has undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration process that features a genuine leather desk top as well as a custom-milled edge banding cut from a solid slab of sustainably sourced black American walnut.
Simultaneously understated and alluring, sophisticated and refined yet rugged and no-fuss this truly one-of-a-kind writer's desk is the epitome of 'custom-made'. The desk top has been recovered in an Italian genuine leather hide. The hide is thick-cut assuring durability and longevity and the rich, jet black tone perfectly offsets the warm walnut woodgrains.
The drawer box features a remarkable, curved plywood design that is structurally and aesthetically fascinating with stunning, variegated woodgrains that are absolutely mesmerizing in natural light. The lock has been replaced, functions and includes two keys. The handles have been sand-blasted and repainted in an automotive-grade polyurethane paint ensuring that even the smallest details were taken in account.
With it's unique wrap around storage design, rich use of materials from Italian leather to solid American Walnut and expert craftsmanship this desk is the very definition of 'sui generis'. Perfect in both home and office settings this desk can easily blend seamlessly against a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Minimalism to Contemporary. With literally nothing else out there like it, when it's gone - it's gone forever. Make it yours today.

This extraordinary writer's desk has recently undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration process and the results speak for themselves! The walnut veneer shows only one gouge on the bottom inner portion of the drawer box and can be seen clearly in the detail photos provided. With that said there are no other stains, deep scratches or other signs of damage whatsoever save for a few small nicks on the legs.
The lock and (2) keys function exactly as they should and the drawers open and close with ease. The handles have been professionally painted in automotive-grade polyurethane. The genuine leather hide desk top is in new, never-used condition and shows only the wear of a once living animal (scars and ranch brands etc).
This desk is highly functional, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use thanks to it's recent restoration. Please view all photos and video for details on this desk's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
