Designed after a 1940s Oak Desk, the Jane Churchill Desk has a prettily curved front and back. It is beautifully wrapped in Variegated Black Vellum with Brass handles. All of our products are sealed with polyurethane for residential use in order to protect and enhance durability. If you are actively using this piece every day as a work station, for example, we would suggest a glass top to ensure maximum longevity. Vellum is a natural skin with no two pieces alike, therefore variation in shade and tone along with physical characteristics are inevitable and may change over time.
