- Danish Modern Teak Peter Lovig Nielsen Flip-Top Writing Desk, 1975Located in Shippensburg, PADANISH MODERN PETER LØVIG NIELSEN TEAKWOOD FLIP-TOP WRITING DESK With Lovig Dansk brand to underside Denmark, manufactured in 1975 (marked to two drawer undersides) Item # 306OPB21A This brilliant desk was designed by Peter Løvig Nielsen and originally was offered finished in teak, oak and rosewood. The present example is the soothing teak veneer. We love with this design how Lovig utilizes a hinged shelf on the desk top that flips down, allowing the profile and working space to be flexible - flipping down the shelf allows a much larger desk space, while still allowing all of the shelves to be used for storage and organization. The flipping shelf is comfortably divided with open paper compartments, two with a removable dovetailed box...Category

The technique of veneered marquetry had its inspiration in 16th century Florence. Marquetry elaborated upon Florentine techniques of inlaying solid marble slabs with designs formed of fitted marbles, jaspers and semi-precious stones. This work, called opere di commessi, has medieval parallels in Central Italian "Cosmati"-work of inlaid marble floors, altars and columns. The technique is known in English as pietra dura, for the "hardstones" used: onyx, jasper, cornelian, lapis lazuli and colored marbles. In Florence, the Chapel of the Medici at San Lorenzo is completely covered in a colored marble facing using this demanding jig-sawn technique. Techniques of wood marquetry were developed in Antwerp and other Flemish centers of luxury cabinet-making during the early 16th century. The craft was imported full-blown to France after the mid-seventeenth century, to create furniture of unprecedented luxury being made at the royal manufactory of the Gobelins, charged with providing furnishings to decorate Versailles and the other royal residences of Louis XIV. Early masters of French marquetry were the Fleming Pierre Golle and his son-in-law, André-Charles Boulle, who founded a dynasty of royal and Parisian cabinet-makers (ébénistes) and gave his name to a technique of marquetry employing brass with pewter in arabesque or intricately foliate designs.
