Torben Strandgaard Teak Desk & Return

Red Modern Furniture — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:43:15 +0000

Torben Strandgaard teak and brass desk and return circa mid 1960′s. This example is all original and has 4 standard size drawers and one file drawer. The drawer pulls and stretcher are brass. The finish on the desk is all original so there is some surface wear to the tops of the desk and return and to some of the frame. We like the patina on this particular piece but we can happily refinish this if so desired.
