About the Item

A classic American mid-century modern steel tanker desk, circa 1960s, featuring a olive green finish and custom protective glass top. This iconic double-pedestal form is constructed entirely of heavy-gauge steel and retains its strong architectural presence, complemented by warm brass hardware and tapered brass-tone legs. The desk offers a traditional and highly functional layout with three graduated drawers to the left, two drawers to the right, a pull-out writing surface on both sides, and a central locking pencil drawer. Original steel drawer interiors include adjustable file rails and smooth-gliding mechanisms, designed for practical everyday use. The substantial steel construction provides excellent durability and weight, making this piece ideal for long-term daily service in both residential and commercial environments. A custom-cut glass top has been added to protect the surface while providing a refined presentation. The desk was repainted at some point in a sophisticated olive green tone; however, it now shows visible scratches and signs of use throughout from regular service, giving the piece an honest, broken-in character consistent with vintage industrial furniture. These imperfections contribute to its authentic patina and can be enjoyed as-is or refinished again to suit a new owner’s vision. This versatile desk works beautifully in Mid-Century Modern, Industrial, Contemporary, or Post-Modern interiors, and would be equally at home in a designer office, creative studio, retail environment, or executive workspace. Its clean architectural lines and classic tanker silhouette make it a timeless and functional statement piece with enduring appeal. MEASUREMENTS: H 29.25" x W 68" x D 36.25" Leg Opening is H 24.75" x W 24.75" CONDITION: Overall good condition with minor scratches throughout, and one area with heavier scratching (see pics). Brass has age appropriate patina. Glass top is in very good condition with minor scratches and wear. Ready for immediate use in a vintage setting or can be repainted if desired.
