Mid Century Executive Desk by Abbess Linear, 1965

The design perfectly captures the understated style of the mid-1960s. Warm richly figured teak contrasts beautifully with the black steel frame, while the satin brass handles add just the right amount of detail without overpowering the clean, functional design. Slim steel legs keep the desk feeling light despite its generous proportions, making it equally suited to a home office, studio or commercial workspace.

The desk has been professionally refinished and presents beautifully throughout. The spacious top offers ample room for a computer, paperwork and desk accessories, while the solid dovetailed drawers glide smoothly and provide excellent everyday storage.

Originally intended for office use, pieces from Abbess’ Linear range have become increasingly sought after thanks to their combination of quality construction and minimalist mid century styling. They are considerably harder to find than many contemporary British desks, particularly in such well-presented condition.

A handsome, practical and increasingly rare British mid century desk that is every bit as functional today as it was when it left the factory in 1965.

Professionally refinished and presented in excellent vintage condition. The teak has been carefully restored, the drawers run smoothly, and both original keys are included. There are only the very minor signs of age and use and variations to the patina as is to be expected from a piece approaching 60 years old.
