Mid-Century Teak Bookcase with Pull-Out Writing Desk, 1960s

ABOUT THE PIECE

A distinctive 1960s bookcase with an integrated pull-out writing desk, designed to combine display, storage and workspace functions within one compact piece.

Crafted from teak wood and natural teak veneer, it features warm tones, expressive grain, softly rounded edges and sculpted wooden handles. Its balanced proportions and slender tapered legs reflect the clean, functional character of mid-century design.

The writing surface extends to create a generous workspace and slides neatly back into the unit when not in use, making the piece particularly suitable for a living room, study or compact home office.

RESTORATION & CONDITION

Good original vintage condition. The piece has not been restored and retains natural signs of age and use consistent with its history, including visible surface marks and wear, particularly on the pull-out writing surface.

The construction is solid and stable. All drawers open smoothly, the sliding door and pull-out desk operate correctly, and all components remain fully functional.
