This iconic small midcentury modern writing desk was designed by Pierre Paulin 1953 and produced by Thonet, Model CM141. It features a Base in black lacquered steel surmounted by a black formica top and a box with 2 drawers in oak veneer. It is in very good original vintage condition with a few traces of use on the right side and the top of the box (photos). A perfect Highlight to your Midcentury Modern Home Office or Library! I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
