Hello all

I acquired a desk sometime ago, and on the exterior of each drawer is a marking denoting Industria Mueblera SA, AGELESS FURNITURE Spence Design. I've come to understand that it is designed by Edmund Spence. Anyone know anything about him? Value/Rarity? The desk is mid century modern for sure. I'll try and post a pic or two later. Thanks for your help!

Hey Jay,
I am also wondering what became of the desk. Edmund Spence is a little known designer who does not have much relevance in the auction design market, but who did some great work. He was American, but made a career designing exaggerated Swedish and Mexican style furniture, which he had produced in Sweden and Mexico, using local artisans and high quality materials. Your desk is from his Mexican period. There are a few of us who love and collect it. Let me know if it is still around or where it ended up

Thanks,
David
