A seldom seen piece from British midcentury furniture maker, White & Newton, this long desk was part of a short-production range designed by Arthur Edwards and it dates from the early sixties. It was formally a vanity table but the mirror that once screwed to the back is long gone, as is often the way. No matter though because it serves just as well as a very handsome, wide but shallow-in-depth, pedestal desk. Ideal for someone who works from a laptop which increasingly is most people in their home setting. It comes with a generous leg area to tuck in a chair and there are six drawers in total so plentiful store space. The design is classic MCM with crisp lines and sharp angles accentuated by the shadow gap detail across the drawer fronts and the minimalist steel handles.
