Midcentury 1960s Stag Cantata Teak Desk

The Cantata range was designed by Ron Carter who followed on from John and Sylvia Reid at the design helm of British manufacturer, Stag. He continued their legacy, creating ranges of affordable but fashionable, Scandinavian-inspired furniture from 1965 onwards.  These ranges were good quality and well-made, designed for style-conscious, modern home-makers. With six drawers and his signature, contoured round handles, this particular piece was formerly a dressing table but with the mirror long-gone, it serves very well as shallow desk, ideal for a laptop user. A fine British midcentury piece.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in overall good, used condition. We have checked and cleaned the desk and applied a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces but otherwise the finish is all original. All six drawers slide with ease, feature dovetail joints and are in good, clean order inside. The right hand set of drawers is fractionally misaligned, only noticeable under close scrutiny – please refer to our photo. This doesn’t effect the  function of the drawers, they slide readily but in the interests of transparency we wanted to detail this. There are some minor superficial marks and scuffs to the external wood surfaces, along with some small knocks to the veneer here and there, primarily on the edges. Please see our photos for a good sense of this. This is a really well made, midcentury piece that was formerly a dressing table, now without the mirror and repurposed as a desk. The Stag label can be seen inside the top left drawer and it dates from the 1960s.
