This is a wonderfully designed, very high quality mid-century desk from the 'Contempora' collection by Mt. Airy Furniture in North Carolina. This piece -part of a bedroom set from which we have several pieces- was retailed by John Stuart, a high-end furniture importer who specialized in Danish and American designer pieces. This set is often attributed to the great Danish designer, Finn Juhl, but we believe it was simply influenced by his designs.
This desk has great details, like the joinery and position of the drawer cabinet and the elegantly tapered solid walnut legs. It is fully finished on all sides, so it can be placed anywhere in the room. There is a book/display cubby on the back. In bleached walnut with fabulous solid brass pulls (please note: the pulls are currently being polished. In these photos they are tarnished.) These pieces are very heavy, as they are made primarily of walnut. There is a lot of solid walnut, and, according to the original tag, even the plywood beneath the veneered areas is made primarily of walnut!
Chair not included but available separately.
Matching headboard and nightstands available.
In used vintage condition with noticeable wear and tear: veneer chips on the desk top and corner of drawer case, scuffs on the legs and light scratches on the top. Price reflects condition.
