Faux Crocodile Leather Desk Bronze Glass Inset

About the Item

A stunning faux crocodile clad desk with a bronze glass inset. The leather is beautifully hand sewn on the desk and features striking graining. The clearance of the desk is 27.5 inches. It is pictured in our gallery with a Herman Miller Eames chair and next to a Hans Wegner Papa Bear Chair. It likely dates to the 1980’s, possibly late 1970’s. Very much in the style of Karl Springer. It’s in good vintage condition with some color loss to the brown along the edges. Glass is good with some minor surface scratches.
