1. Broyhill Brasilia walnut desk with finished back and cane privacy screen, made in the U.S. in 1965. This iconic mid-century collection debuted at the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle, modeled on the architecture of the then new capital city of Brazil. This piece features the signature sculptural arcs on each side, original brass pulls on the four dovetailed side drawers, and sculpted tapered legs. It's a well-made piece that's a nice size, not overly big, and it can be used against a wall or out in a room. It's in good vintage condition with some expected wear from age and use, but nothing particularly noticeable. 56" wide, 23" deep, 30" high. Kneehole is about 21" wide and 25" high. $1995.
2. George Nelson for Herman Miller desk number 4658, designed in the mid to late 1940s. This striking desk is constructed of a walnut cabinet supported by slanted steel legs with original tan leather writing surface and sliding upper doors. There are a series of shelves and small cubbies behind the leather wrapped sliding doors in the floating top cabinet. The desk features a perforated aluminum pull out file drawer on the right and a large, top opening storage box on the left with a leather handle. The back is finished so it's usable out in a room, and it looks very stylish from every angle. It is a rare model with lots of style and receives lots of attention. It has not been refinished and has lots of patina to the leather top and the wood, including scratches, small veneer chips and marks. The doors open easily, and the desk is sturdy. 54.25" wide, 28" deep, 40.25" high, 28" high at writing surface. $4995.
3. Vintage teak flip top desk by Peter Lovig Nielsen and Jens Quistgaard, made in Denmark. It has an innovative design with a hinged top that flips down, expanding the work surface to accommodate another person on the other side in a partner desk style. There are four smoothly working drawers, one of which locks, with interesting wood handles on one side, and plenty of small storage spaces on both sides of the desk. It is a beautiful statement piece with plenty of workspace for today's work-from-home jobs. This particular desk was made in 1978, and it retains its Lovig Dansk Design and 1978 stamps on the underside. It has been refinished and is in very good vintage condition with some minor wear consistent with age and use. 63.75" wide, 28.75" deep, 29" high, 34.25" high at the back, when the top piece is flipped over it is 38" deep. $3495.
