Jean Pascaud

Ebonized Writing Desk with Tapered Legs

France, 1940s

PASC 21

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:
