Know before you buy
Yes. Because the back of the desk is fully finished, it is designed to be viewed from all sides, making it an excellent choice for a floating placement in a home office or library.
The tooled green leather top is in good condition, though as a vintage piece, it may show light signs of use consistent with its age. It remains durable and provides a smooth, functional workspace.
The desk features five functional drawers, providing ample space to organize stationery, documents, and small office supplies while maintaining its clean, classic aesthetic.
The cream-colored paint features intentional distressing, which adds character and a soft, antique patina to the piece. This finish complements the vintage nature of the desk and helps conceal minor wear.
The desk features patinated brass hardware that aligns with the French Regency style. The patina is consistent with the desk's age, contributing to its authentic vintage appearance.
With a height of 28.5 inches, this desk is slightly lower than standard modern desks, which typically sit at 30 inches. We recommend measuring your chair to ensure comfortable leg clearance.
