Black Forest Walnut Desk & Chair by Albin May 1920

Black Forest Desk and Chair, part of a Vintners  Study Suite; well-travelled over the last 100 years. For wine buffs, a work environment produces fine vintages. For Oenophiles, the epitome of a connoisseurs estate for testing, tasting and recording each vintage. A relaxing heady ambience of viticulture for the cognoscenti.
