This authentic mid-century executive desk was salvaged from the administrative offices of the MV Augustus, one of the flagship ocean liners of Italia Line in the 1950’s. Beautifully crafted in richly figured teak, it reflects the clean lines and practical elegance of post-war Italian design. The desk features a spacious work surface, a central drawer, four internal document trays concealed behind the left cupboard door, and shelved storage with an open compartment to the right. Brushed brass knobs and tapered legs complete its refined appearance. The timber has developed a warm, attractive patina, with only light wear consistent with its age and maritime service. Combining exceptional craftsmanship with genuine ocean liner provenance, this is a rare opportunity to own a functional piece from the golden age of transatlantic travel. Ideal as a home office desk or statement piece, it offers both historical significance and timeless mid-century style.
