‘Old time’ car desk accessory by Troika

Troika car
 

Got the retro car bookends? Complete the look of a high-flying executive office with Troika’s old time car desk accessory.

It’s described as ‘old time’ and I’m afraid I’m also no closer than that to recognising the model of car this might have been based on. However, it’s definitely got a glamorous retro look, suitable for adorning (presumably walnut) writing desks. It’s also vaguely useful too – as it’s magnetic you can use it for storing up paper clips or having other office based fun with metallic items.

It’s perfectly priced for a gift at £25.

Vintage-style Pharmacy Desk Lamp at Graham & Green

Pharmacy

It might look like a vintage find, but the Pharmacy Desk Lamp at Graham & Green is actually a brand new piece of design.

Very much inspired by the 1930s, this rather smart desk lamp has a swivel adjust, chrome-lined hood, which you can adjust with just a twist of the wing nut, while the on/off button is found on the flex.

If you don't like the red, there's also a green too, with both selling for £119.

Got some correspondence that needs to be written in style? How about this Celine desk from John Lewis?

The whole thing sits on solid oak legs.

It's an elegant piece of design that should stay looking good through the years. The desk sells for £349.

50s style mirrored table

Graham and Green manage to do glamorous retro furniture very well as evident in this 1950s influenced mirrored dressing table from their autumn collection. With its mirrored surfaces, it looks the ideal place for any aspirational Hollywood star to do their maquillage or perhaps it could be used as a desk to answer fan letters. 

It's part of a '50s style angled range designed by Jamie Graham which also includes a chest of drawers and a cabinet, meaning the look can be carried through to the rest of the bedroom. Prices start at £299 for the chest of drawers with this dressing table costing £330.
