Description

Ebonized wood, metal

Height: 29.75" - Width: 50.5" - Depth: 22"

The elegance of this desk can be attributed to the essential quality of its form—with little more than some well placed lines, Pascaud evokes a great deal more than is to be expected from furnishings. This is clearest in the subtle tapering of the desk's legs. 

Exhibited:

A photograph bearing a number 314 of a similar desk is kept in the archives Jean Pascaud at Musée des Arts Décoratifs of Paris. 

A drawing of a vanity table of the same collection dated of June 25, 1942 is also kept in the archives Jean Pascaud at Musée des Arts Décoratifs of Paris.
