Midcentury 1960s G Plan Brandon Walnut Corner Desk Cabinet

Designed by VB Wilkins for E Gomme / G Plan, the ‘Brandon’ range of the fifties and sixties is somewhat overlooked in our view with the later teak Fresco collection more sought-after today (although we do love that too!). The Brandon range has a distinct post-war, utilitarian look to it. Most often made in light oak, this corner cabinet desk is unusually crafted in walnut veneer with the most striking vertical stripes across its exteriors surfaces. But the most remarkable thing about this piece is the thought and energy that has gone into its design. The angles and lines are quite something and they are everywhere you look. Originally this was intended as a discreet secretaire desk with a top drawer that cleverly folds down to create a little desktop. However, this could be used as a dressing table / vanity desk or even a bathroom cabinet.

Description

This original, vintage unit is ‘sold as seen’. It’s in good – very good, used condition. We have thoroughly cleaned it and applied a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces but otherwise the finish is original. The double door lower cupboard features a fixed shelf. The hingers, handles and closures are in good order. The interiors carries some superficial marks and scuffs from use but it’s clean. The top drawer extends with ease and the drawer front flaps down by pressing a brass button on the right side. This creates a small desk / writing area and there are small, sectioned storage holes. The interior here is very clean, tidy with all hinges, handles and mechanisms in good, working order. There are some minor scuffs, dents and scratches to the external surfaces / finish, including a couple of small, faint blemishes which can be seen in our photos on the top and drawer front. These are not really noticeable in the context of the whole piece. Do browse our photos for an accurate sense of its condition. It’s very well-made and sturdy with no signs of structural repair or areas of concern. The gold E Gomme maker’s stamp is on the inside door. If you have any queries at all or would like to come and view this item, please get in touch.
