Edward Wormley Desk
Wag Collectibles has a very interesting, very rare EDWARD WORMLEY desk on their site right now. And I just had to share when I saw how cool it was.
Via Wag:
EDWARD WORMLEY Mid Century Modern Desk for DREXEL 1958! Outstanding, very illusive, mid-century modern desk, designed by Edward Wormley for Drexel. Model No. K-80-41 with smoke (marbled gray) leatherette top, walnut wood. Produced in April 1958. Drexel burn stamp mark inside the drawer, tab code paper on the bottom and the model # style marks on the bottom of the drawer. Desk is 54" long, 33" wide, and 35-1/2" tall overall. 30" from the floor to the desktop. 4 drawers, one with movable pen/pencil tray, one with adjustable file storage rack, and one standard storage and the small one on the top left expands the writing surface. Step back with two sliding doors open to reveal storage area with cubby holes for letters, documents, and such. Desk is complete. It is in very good original condition with lite wear consistent with it's age and use. Some rubbing, minor scuffs, scratches. The unique metal handles have toning to their finishes. The gray leatherette covering looks great still, but close inspection shows a couple of tiny pin top size dings. On the step top, there is two lite rings from where a drink had been set, and some spotting. One of the legs has a line where the top layer of wood had chipped off and has been repaired. Don't let the lite wear fool you, as its really a great looking desk just the way it is. Quality made, versatile, with full round finished design. Looks great from any side or angle. This isn't a desk you'll want to hide in a corner or place up against a wall. It deserves a place in the center of a office or den
