Condition of Preservation and Defects (See Photos): The desk is an authentic piece from the 1950s and, as such, has signs of time that testify to its originality. In particular, the upper part of the plan features: Whitish halos and spots: There are two obvious opaque halos (probably caused by past heat or moisture) affecting the surface polish in the middle and lower right quadrant.
