Fantastic Mid-Century Walnut "Bowtie" Desk with Finished, Caned Back - SOLD

November 8, 2015

Wow, this is a really unusual and stunning desk! The desktop is a unique "bowtie" shape and made of glowing, beautifully figured walnut. Two deep red-oak drawers, with unusual circular pulls, flank a bowtie-shaped shallow center drawer.

On the back side, the desk is fully finished and features a beautiful caned panel. Many of the gorgeous details and accents remind us of Ed Wormley's Janus Collection for Dunbar Furniture, but this piece is unmarked and we do not who made it.

This desk is in very good restored condition with typical signs of wear including some light stains to the top and a split in the walnut framing around the cane panel. See photos.

52" W x 27.875" D (20" at narrowest point) x 29" high.
The "knee space" is a generous 25" W x 24.5" H.
