Dazzling one-of-a-kind 1960's Italian made Burl wood desk on a plinth base in the campaign style. The irregular ring pattern of burl wood is highly prized by artists and is usually used in small sculptures.
It is rarely seen in furniture due to the quantities required for production. Must be seen to be appreciated. Delicate brass hardware and lots of drawer space for a desk this size.
Excellent condition.
