Italian mid-century Desks by Esposizione Permanente Mobili Cantù, 1950s
$20,000.00
An exceptional and increasingly rare Italian mid-century executive desk set, produced in the 1950s and officially marked by Esposizione Permanente Mobili Cantù, a benchmark of post-war Italian design quality and institutional craftsmanship.
The main executive desk features a striking black glass top combined with six fully lockable drawers, offering both authority and refined functionality. The drawer fronts are distinguished by channeled wood detailing in a deep ebony tone, a sophisticated decorative element typical of high-end Italian production, and are completed with finely crafted solid brass handles that add depth, warmth, and visual richness.
The set is complemented by a coordinated secondary typing desk, also finished with a black glass top and a functional drawer. Conceived as part of the original executive composition, it enhances the versatility and presence of the ensemble while maintaining a cohesive architectural identity.
Both desks are in excellent vintage condition. All wooden surfaces have been professionally restored and hand-polished using traditional shellac, reviving the natural grain and ensuring the pieces are ready for immediate use.
Only very minor, age-consistent signs of wear are present, discreetly located beneath the glass tops; they are not immediately visible and do not affect the overall aesthetics or structural integrity.
This set represents a collector-grade example of Italian mid-century office furniture, combining strong architectural lines, premium materials, and enduring executive appeal—ideal for luxury interiors, design studios, and statement home offices.
