Chapel Hill, NC
Executive desk in mahogany with a single drawer. Designed by us for an executive’s home office;
solid mahogany with a single, barely visible drawer across the front;
built in 1990;
the top is from a single board [a very difficult feature to find now as most
large mahogany trees are being protected or reserved for their own use by the countries in which they are growing];
the “brick” detail, taken from an 18th-century Russian dressing table, is called “rustication” and runs on all four sides.
