Couldn't load pickup availability
A beautifully compact mid century bureau desk by Morris of Glasgow, designed to offer both elegant form and practical functionality within a small footprint.
Crafted in a combination of warm teak and richly figured walnut, this piece showcases classic British mid century design with clean lines and subtle contrast in the grain. The drop-front writing surface opens smoothly on brass supports, revealing a thoughtfully arranged interior of pigeonholes and compartments—ideal for organising stationery, documents, or everyday essentials.
Below, a two-door cupboard provides generous concealed storage, making this a versatile piece suited to modern living—perfect as a home office solution, writing desk, or stylish hallway cabinet.
Its compact proportions make it particularly well suited to smaller spaces, while still offering the practicality of a full writing bureau.
