Description

Handsome teak Gordon Russell single pedestal desk. This one is a super piece of Mid Century furniture in well-toned teak and it goes without saying, fab build and design quality. A desk of sensible proportions.
Gordon Russell was one of Britain’s great furniture designers and the Gordon Russell Design Museum is worthy of a lengthy visit if you wish to know more about the company and how it shaped furniture post war in Great Britain.

Back to the desk... It’s a weighty piece with a run of 3 drawers, no key sadly, to the right. The top of solid teak is nicely planed to the edges giving it some real mid-century style, as do those angled legs. As you would expect the desk looks good from all angles so could be placed in a room not just against a wall.

Workshop report – The desk survives in good order with sensible day to day wear – the drawers are running as they should and the original period solid brass handles are all in situ. We have waxed the runners. The teak frame is of a good tone with a pleasing grain and has been lightly bees waxed polished. The top does have light markings but nothing nasty. Clean and ready to place.

A super piece of post war British furniture from one of the best in the business.
