Dutch vintage birch series secretaire BB04 by Cees Braakman for UMS Pastoe, 1950s Netherlands

Vintage birch series secretary BB04, designed by Cees Braakman for Pastoe, 1950s. The cabinet with worktop has a birch veneer finish and stands on the characteristic plywood loop legs. The vintage Pastoe furniture belongs to the first owner and is marked on the front and back. Very good vintage condition. The veneer still has a beautiful original texture and very little discolouration. The interior of the valve box section is finished with green felt. Not original, but it does give the cabinet a special look. Small damage to the left front flap (see photo). Furthermore, signs of wear consistent with the age of the furniture.
