Art Nouveau Double Sided Walnut and Rosewood Desk by Lajos Kozma, 1930

About
This rare large double sided desk was designed by Lajos (Ludwig) Kozma, who had an unprecedented influence on the European design through his drawings, buildings and furniture.

This desk has walnut and rosewood veneer and brass knobs. It has 18 drawers, nine each side, and each drawer comprises its own warded lock with brass keyhole escutcheon insert. The item is in its original condition with only some marks due to its latest restoration, 50 years ago.
It was part of a unique collection.
