Pierre Jeanneret PJ-TA-12-A Secretary Desk / Authentic Mid-Century Modern

Product Details

Product Description

The desk exudes simplicity, embodying the pure ideas of Pierre Jeanneret. Its limited yet striking design features the necessary elements of drawers, a top, and a charming X-leg for support. This asymmetrical element adds a sculptural quality that I truly appreciate. The rare X-legs shape is a characteristic feature of Chandigarh items, distinguishing it from others. Originally designed as a steno-typist desk for administration buildings, it features a thick sheet of aluminum to cover the hole in the drawer, a signature element of Chandigarh furniture. Each table has its own unique character, making them truly one-of-a-kind, unlike mass-produced industrial designs. Pierre Jeanneret's designs are timeless and historical, which we love. When it comes to authenticity, we only sell genuine midcentury objects, handpicked in India by the owner of our gallery. We buy all pieces unrestored, preserving important indicators of authenticity such as the original wooden parts and patina. We do not replace damaged parts with new ones or parts from other Jeanneret pieces. Old cracks, scratches, and wear add to the character of the piece and are important signs of authenticity. To ensure authenticity, it is wise to purchase from experts, as fakes and Chandigarh objects with no provenance papers are common. Each piece comes with a "Certificate of Authenticity" to guarantee its authenticity.
