Waterfall Style Vintage Desk with Unique Drawer Design
About the Item
A vintage Chinese waterfall desk with five drawers, opium mat top and rustic character. Emanating a blend of exotic allure and sophisticated craftsmanship, this vintage Chinese opium mat desk is a captivating piece of functional artistry. Born in the heritage-rich realm of Chinese furniture-making, this desk boasts an opium mat top, a traditional material that effortlessly extends into the sides, which are tastefully adorned with subtly scrolling extremities.
The desk, in all its charm, presents a quintet of drawers - three stately, commodious ones reigning at the top, gracefully overlooking their two more compact companions below. Each drawer is adorned with ornate hardware that contrasts and complements the two-toned structure of the desk. The pulls are elegant, giving a nod to traditional Chinese aesthetics.
In an enticing duet of hues, the opium mat top, drawers, and recessed panels in the back bathe in an inviting, warm, orangey-brown, while the frame revels in a deep, rich reddish-brown. This marriage of colors harmonizes perfectly, conjuring an atmosphere of antiquity and finesse.
Measuring a knee clearance of 23.25" in height, the desk does not just cater to the eyes but offers practical ergonomics, ensuring comfort during extended periods of use.
Whether poised as a focal centerpiece in a study, or as an exotic infusion in a modern office setting, this vintage Chinese opium mat desk is not just a furnishing, it is an heirloom in the making, and a gateway to tales untold.
