Small vintage Chinese writing desk

Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
Small Chinese writing desk in black lacquered wood, dating back to the 1940s-50s, an example of oriental craftsmanship that combines elegance and functionality. The entire surface of the desk is richly decorated with inlays of wood painted in a bright golden color, depicting intricate ornaments and scenes of daily life, adding a touch of exoticism and refinement to the piece.

The upper part of the desk features a drop-down door, which, when opened, reveals a skillfully organized interior. Inside, there are several compartments perfect for storing envelopes, notes, and other small items, offering a practical space for personal organization. This detail makes the desk not only a decorative element but also a useful tool for work or correspondence management.

In the lower part of the desk, two elegant doors conceal two internal shelves, providing additional storage space for documents, books, or other personal items. The joints of the desk, as well as the keys and locks, are made entirely of brass, adding an extra touch of prestige and durability to the structure. The small brass inserts scattered throughout the desk further highlight the attention to detail and the quality of Chinese craftsmanship of the period.

This Chinese writing desk is a unique piece that stands out for its beauty and its ability to add a touch of oriental elegance to any environment, making it ideal for both classic-style spaces and interiors with a more exotic character.
