I just picked up this desk. It has a nice look. Do you know who made it? The desk has a wooden top, metal base and 3 wooden drawers. There is a matching chair. A couple people told me it looked like Paul McCobb but they are not experts. Have you seen this one before?

Looks to me like
the wrought iron furniture I use to see in California.
It kind of reminds me of an unusual lamp a late friend use to have; tall wrought iron open cage lamp with a round distressed wooen ball suspended in the middle of the cage.
I have never seen another one and have never figured out who designed or manufacturered it.

I haven't had a chance to...
Thanks for the info the base does look like a wrought iron. I haven't had a chance to look at the desk very closely, but I noticed a signature on it when I was moving it. It says "JW." Does any have any clue on the maker or designer? John Widdicomb perhaps?
