About the Item

A cuban mahogany drawing table with central compartment, side drawer, and reversible lid, made in Denmark by a master cabinetmaker between 1940-1950. The deep proportions of this elegant piece speak of its concealed history as a drawing table, perfectly suited to the dimensions of large sheets of paper. Traces of this historic use are evident on the reverse of the thick mahogany table top, a surface replete with constellations of ruled lines. This reverse side may be used for everyday work, saving the highly polished surface. The central compartment of the table may also be used to store documents, whilst the neatly concealed side drawer makes stationary quickly accessible.

A teak, Oregon pine, and brass desk, designed by Ebbe & Karen Clemmensen, in 1953 for the Rødby Rådhus (Town Hall), Denmark.The desk is in a late Classicist style, characterised by symmetrical design and simple ornamentation.

A small circular recession, intended to be used to hold ashtrays, has its original petrol blue finish, popular with the two designers, and frequently used in their Copenhagen house constructed in the same year as this project. Today, this can be used to hold a pen pot...
