Mid-century oak desk by Svend Åge Madsen for Sigurd Hansen, 1960s.

This oak desk was designed in the 1960s by Danish designer Svend Åge Madsen and manufactured by Sigurd Hansen Møbelfabrik. The desk features a clearly defined symmetrical composition. The frame is supported by two complete drawer modules – three on each side – which gives the design rhythm and order. The central leg space remains open, and its dimensions ensure comfort for any office user, regardless of their size. The drawer fronts are fitted with original leather handles, a characteristic of this model and rarely seen in other designs from this period. The handles are in their original condition, with visible signs of wear as shown in the photos. The piece has been carefully and professionally restored by removing the old finishes, staining, and finishing with varnish. The restoration was carried out by a talented and experienced carpenter with over 20 years of experience. Thanks to these treatments, the desk is stunning and will serve its new owner for many years without fear of damage or wear from daily use.
