Midcentury McGuire Writing Desk with Cane Drawer Fronts and Brass Pulls
By McGuire
Located in Atlanta, GA
This elegant midcentury writing desk by McGuire exemplifies the brand’s refined approach to natural materials and relaxed modern design. Constructed with a warm-toned wood frame and slender, gently tapered legs, the desk has a light, architectural presence that feels both tailored and understated.
The apron is fitted with three drawers, each featuring woven cane fronts that introduce texture and visual warmth while keeping the overall silhouette clean and uncluttered. The drawers are accented with simple brass pulls, adding a subtle note of contrast without overpowering the design. Inside one of the drawers, the original McGuire label is present, confirming the maker and period.
The proportions are particularly successful: the desk is wide enough to function comfortably as a workspace while remaining visually light, making it well suited to a home office, bedroom, or living area. The open clearance beneath the apron (24.5"H) allows for generous legroom, reinforcing its practicality for everyday use.
The wood surfaces show natural grain variation and a softly aged finish, consistent with McGuire’s emphasis on craftsmanship and materials rather than high gloss or ornament. The combination of wood, cane, and brass gives the piece versatility, allowing it to sit comfortably in midcentury, coastal, or more eclectic interiors.
Overall, this is a well-balanced and authentic McGuire desk...
