Mid-Century Modern Mengel Limed & Cerused Oak Telephone Bench by Raymond Lowey
Located in Topeka, KS
Wonderful vintage Mid-Century Modern Mengel telephone bench by Raymond Loewy. Comprised of a limed oak case, cerused oak drawer fronts, black iron legs and the original gold upholstery. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. The case has been refinished, the drawers reconditioned, and the legs freshly painted. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1950-1959.
NOTE: If you love this magnificent Telephone Bench by Raymond Loewy for Mengel we have a matching Secretary Desk or Gentleman’s Chest listed here for sale if it is still available!
