French Oak Architect’s Desk with Inset Glass Top, 1950s

$6,600.00

A 1950s French architect’s desk, crafted in solid oak with a warm tone and expressive grain.

The opposing side, paneled and monolithic, acts as a sculptural counterweight. 

An inset glass panel punctuates the surface—ideal for drafting, reviewing plans, or showcasing materials. A purposeful addition to a studio, study, or collector’s library.
