A fantastic Desk designed by Greta M. Grossman for Glenn of California in the United States in 1952. This beautiful desk features a walnut wood construction with a glossy black laminate coating which contrasts beautifully with the warm wood hue and grain texture. The legs and leg joinery are made of solid black iron with spherical wood feet tips and add bold elegance to this exemplary design. A lower compartment on the left side of the desk features two drawers and a removable shelf while the top compartment of the desk, which appears to float, features two sliding front doors made of glossy black plastic with a storage compartment behind. Though designed in 1952, this desk was part of the ’62 Series because it’s design was said to be 10 years ahead of its time. A functional and classic Mid-Century modern desk to add a fresh and invigorating touch to your work environment at home or in your office.

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.
Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.
New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.
Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps, the marks that prove the piece lived.
