It is a top piece in very good condition! unfortunately there are only 'made in Denmark' stamps and no reference to a designer or manufacturer. After intensive search we assume the desk is a masterpiece from a promising designer or cabinetmaker, but we have no proof from who. There are beautiful drawings in the wood. The desk top has upstanding edges on 3 sides. The front offers 2 drawers, an extra writing space and a magazine holder. The back has an open shelf and a bar compartment. The original key is available. The way the rounded legs run into the sides and the desk top is remarkable. Also the black cut in the legs is a nice design feature. This desk is in teak and in very good condition due to the renown Møbelfabrik workshop with over 35 years of experience with wood treatments.
