About the Item
This five-drawer writing desk from the early 20th century has a timeless simplicity, designed with clean-lines and an even, black lacquer finish.

Richly aged from years of use, a glossy black lacquer finish darkens the exterior, decorated only by the shimmering gold color of the brass drawer pulls.
