A beautifully proportioned mid-century teak writing desk featuring a distinctive floating design, elegant sleigh-style legs and four practical storage drawers.

Likely British in origin and dating to approximately the 1960s–1970s, this vintage desk combines clean modernist lines with the warmth and character of teak furniture.

The desk features a generous rectangular writing surface supported by two suspended drawer pedestals, creating an attractive floating appearance. Each pedestal contains two drawers with recessed oval wooden handles, providing convenient storage for stationery, documents and everyday office essentials.

Particularly appealing are the open rectangular sleigh-style legs, which give the desk a lighter, more architectural appearance than traditional pedestal desks.

The warm teak tones, horizontal wood grain and understated design make this an excellent addition to a mid-century interior, contemporary home office or creative workspace.

Measuring 147 cm wide with a relatively shallow 47 cm depth, it offers a generous working surface without taking up excessive space, making it particularly suitable for home offices and London apartments.

Please note: The chair shown in the photographs is for illustrative purposes only and is not included in the sale.
