Pedestal Desk

Deep-brown workhorse with its storage stacked to the left and a polished top.

This is an ironwood pedestal desk. Heavy hardwood furniture is often favored because dense timber holds its joints well and takes on a deeper tone as it is handled and oiled over the years. Squared-off desk with slab sides and a smooth, dark finish. The left pedestal pairs a tall door with a lower door and drawer, and a narrow drawer sits above the kneehole. The slim base is tucked back in shadow. It is 54 inches long, 24 deep and 30 high.

No ornament, and the proportions do all the talking.
