Description
An exceptional, rare and beautifully crafted Danish bureau desk in wonderful condition. Made by Falster Mobelfabrik in the 1960s, this knockout desk will add exemplary quality, gorgeous colour, multi-purpose practicality and real Mid Century Scandinavian ‘wow’ factor to any setting.
Impressively sized and reassuringly heavy, this fabulous bureau features richly hued and gorgeously grained teak wood, expertly sculpted to reveal elegantly chic and extremely cool Mid Century Scandinavian lines, curves and angles. The curved sides with complimentary juxtaposing angles, the inverted-waterfall drawers and the sunken top are really beautiful and standout design features, which very strongly suggest it was designed by Mid Century design supremo Arne Wahl Iversen, who did design for Falster and designed almost identical bureaus for other Danish makers, except without the lovely robust tapering rounded Falster legs and internal cubbyhole delights of this piece.
A wonderful size for the perfect spacious work-from-home office desk, this bureau has a very large desk area with plenty of storage and, as with all very high-end Danish pieces, the attention to detail is simply wonderful, marrying practicality with elegance.
The quality of the spacious internal desk compartments, with their stunning grain finish, cuboid handles, sloping door and uncluttered simplicity, are a real joy, as are the lovely rounded handles and beautiful dovetail joins on the three large lower drawers. A standout feature, making this bureau extremely rare indeed, is the original vanity mirrored door – a wonderful touch that enables this to be doubled as a dressing table. We’ve only ever seen one other of these Falster models before.
All in all this is an exceptional rare Danish Mid Century bureau by a design giant in wonderful condition – the perfect multi-purpose piece to sit at and admire. A real standout Danish delight!
Condition report:
This is in very-good-to excellent condition. Structurally sound, reassuringly heavy and built to last, it’s all-original and everything works smoothly and as it should, including the original key. The only minor flaws to suggest its not inconsiderable age are a nick to the dropdown front and minor cosmetic wear, including some foxing to the mirror and veneer wear to the back edges which are hard to notice and have been retouched, but overall it’s in wonderful condition and if well looked after it should last for another 60 years at least – please see the photos.

Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
