Mid-Century Modern Desk by Robsjohn-Gibbings for Widdicomb

T.H. (Terence Harold) Robsjohn-Gibbings (1905 – 1976) was born in London, England and emigrated to America in 1936, working as a designer for the Widdicomb Furniture Company from 1943 to 1956. It was for Widdicomb that he designed this desk, Model 317, in the early 1940’s. The desk features solid oak secondary woods and dovetail joints on the drawer fronts. The figured walnut body has been restored to original showroom condition and the brass pulls have been hand polished and coated with clear lacquer to prevent oxidation. The middle drawer has a label that reads “Modern Original, Widdicomb”. It is 29 ¾” high, 48” wide and 26” deep. The knee hole is 24 ¼” high. The desk can be freestanding as the back is also finished in figured walnut.
