Magnificent Børge Mogensen Teak and Oak Desk - $2,250

January 21, 2021

This is such a wonderful piece! A large two-sided desk designed in the 1950s by Børge Mogensen and produced in Denmark by Søborg Møbelfabrik. Like many of Mogensen’s designs, this piece is crafted of rich teak and European white oak. The contrast between the two is subtle and beautiful.

This is a rare piece, and the only one we’ve seen in years of collecting. It is a more finely detailed version of Mogensen’s classic teak & oak model 130. This desk is extremely well-made. The desk has three dovetailed drawers on either side of the knee and a bookcase/display area on the reverse. Its medium size would work well in a home office!

In excellent vintage condition with minor age-appropriate wear. One corner has a dent as shown. There are a few tiny dents in the front edge, and a filled knot hole that is original from the time of construction.

61 1/2” x 30 3/8” x 29 1/4”
Knee space 20 1/8” wide and 25 1/4” high
