About the Item

Beautiful and unique limed oak desk featuring strong horizontal emphasis and dynamic splayed verticals. Likely from the 1940s, possibly made in France , this is a fine example of early modern design that has all the right moves - think Rudolph Schindler, Frank Lloyd Wright and John Lautner. Original cerused or limed oak finish and nicely rounded edges combine to lend this desk an air of sophistication while also providing a very practical workstation. Plenty of workspace on top, cubby underneath and three ample drawers below. Wide stance legs provide a comfortable and usable desk that is instantly convertible to right or left handed by simply pulling out the drawers and inserting them on the other side. Please contact me for a personalized shipping quote. Dimensions: 48" wide x 24" deep 27 1/2" high

Narendra Patel Signed Rosewood Bird Sculpture
Located in Kalamazoo, MI
Stunning abstract bird sculpture in solid Brazilian Rosewood by artist Narendra Patel. Originally hailing from India, the sculptor completed degrees in painting, sculpting, and product design at the prestigious Maharaja Sayajirao University before moving to the U.S. for his M.A. in Sculpture at Wayne State University and M.A. in Fine Art at Cranbrook in 1965. His final year at Cranbrook in Michigan was the year he completed this piece. The piece is in excellent condition with a fine patina.
