Stunning Franco Albini '1928' desk for Knoll international, this example circa 1949. A pebbled glass top and stunning patina really take this piece to a whole new level. The enameled metal frame shows gorgeous age accumulated patina. The wood case, which has two drawers on the front side and an exposed cubby on the back, has been lightly refinished to bring it back to life without stripping away all of the character. The green pebble glass has smooth chips to each corner, but is otherwise perfect, and totally usable as is (the evenness of the chips makes it look intentional). You really truly will not find a finer example of this desk.
