Vintage Bentwood Desk “Pending” Paperwork Tray by Mallod c.1950s/1960s

A very nice-looking vintage desktop paperwork tray in bentwood, made by Mallod, and dating from the 1950s or 1960s. This one has a very pleasing appearance with original cosmetic wear from use and a suitably vintage-looking red Dymo label attached to one side reading "PENDING". It's been cleaned and given a subtle wax to make the most of it, but otherwise left as is. There are signs of use and wear and tear throughout and there's a small chip to the underside near the front. It's not noticeable in normal use and it seems to have occurred some time ago so unlikely to worsen.

The tray measures 26.5cm by 36.5cm by 5.5cm (10½ in. by 14¼in. by 2¼in.)

Vintage Bentwood Desk “For Action” Paperwork Tray by Mallod c.1950s/1960s

A very nice-looking vintage desktop paperwork tray in bentwood, made by Mallod, and dating from the 1950s or 1960s. Ours has a very pleasing appearance with original cosmetic wear from use and a suitably vintage-looking red Dymo label attached to side reading "FOR ACTION". We have not restored the tray in any way except for a clean and a subtle wax. Expect there to be signs of use and wear and tear - we think it's all part of the character of this particular item.

The tray measures 26.5cm by 36.5cm by 5.5cm (10½ in. by 14¼in. by 2¼in.)

Mallod Mid Century Bent Plywood Coal Scuttle

Jon Nix — Sat, 17 Mar 2018 16:35:27 +0000

A mid-Century bent plywood coal scuttle which we believe was made by Mallod (no label is present but it's absolutely their style). Ideal re-purposed as a waste-paper or storage bin, the distinctive shape of the scuttle is matched by the materials - the bent plywood offset by copper fixtures and fittings.

In good cosmetic condition, it does show signs of wear but that only adds to the look of it: expect there to be significant scratches and dings, and some minor chips to the rim. The base has more significant signs of wear and tear, but remains solid... not enough perhaps to act as originally intended but certainly sturdy enough to use for light storage duties. The item has been cleaned and waxed to protect the finish and to enhance the look.

Measurements:

Height: 54cm / 21¼in (with main handle extended)
Depth: 23cm /9 in (not including handle)
Width: 24cm / 9½in
