Vintage Mid Century Restored Solid Timber French Green Desk
$600 Negotiable
With mid century styling and lovely proportions, this desk has been fully restored and coated in a “French Green” matte finish. Solid timber throughout, with “Australian Made” engraved drawer latches, the piece is most likely Australian made from the 1960s or thereabouts. A great example of classic furniture design with influences from the postmodern era with its restrained styling.
It is quite a modest sized desk, reflecting the pre-computer period and smaller room sizes of the time. As a result, it may work better as a statement or display piece, perhaps in a hallway or side table setting.
The restoration process began with refitting the joinery. One of the back legs had come loose and there were quite a few creaks. It was taken apart, inspected, cleaned, refitted and clamped with new wood glue. The joinery is now sound and will serve for many years to come. It was then sanded and coated top to tail with primer followed by 2 coats of Porter’s “French Green” to give it a soft eggshell finish.
Tabletop measures 1220 x 600mm. It features two shallow drawers.
