Meet William—a Drexel executive desk with an air of old-money sophistication and a backstory fit for a dramatic novel. Once the centerpiece of a distinguished home office, he was nearly cast aside—unwanted, overlooked, left to fade into obscurity. But when the offer came my way, I did what any sane person with an appreciation for impeccable craftsmanship would do—I rescued him without hesitation.
Now William,(named after his prior owner's brother), is reborn in high-gloss lacquer olive green, a color as commanding as his presence. His modern sensibilities remain intact—a double-deep hanging file drawer for the organized, a pencil cradle for the detail-obsessed, and a stature that demands respect. Not to mention, he is fully finished on the back, ready to command the respect he deserves. His finishing touch? New square polished brass knobs—because even a classic deserves a little shine.
William isn’t just a desk; he’s an institution, a statement, a power move. Whether he’s presiding over your office or making a statement in your study, one thing is certain: he’ll never be overlooked again.

Maker / Designer
Founded in 1903, Drexel is known for its traditional and modern furniture. Drexel began hosting staff designers in the 1930s and explored styles such as French provincial, chinoiserie, Queen Anne, and Mediterranean. Though no longer in business, existing Drexel furniture is sought after for its evolutionary style and range of lines.

Care
Our lacquer finish is catalyzed (2k) at every coat. It is a very durable finish and will endure for decades with proper care. We recommend dusting often and using coasters and protective felt feet on pointed objects.
For cleaning greasy finger prints or dirty smudges, this is the product we use for the "final finish". It is waterbased and will not react with our finish. Do not substitute with a solvent-based finishing spray. We recommend both the Meguiars Final Finish and these microfiber cloths.
Do not use any cleansers with ammonia or other harsh chemicals, it will dull the finish.

I love the tables I bought from Casey Grace Studios. They are perfect for my room and brighten up my life. The color is just what I wanted. The finish is impeccable. Thank you so much.
**** is a show stopper in her preppy elegance. Casey's customer service and attention to detail are incredible. including her color consultation, to find the perfect shade of green. I'm so pleased with the project and can't recommend Casey Grace highly enough.
Perfectly refinished. Lovely soft buttery color. I was impressed with the handling of the delivery since the piece was traveling a great distance. I highly recommend this seller.
Casey Grace pieces are works of art that light up any room. Julienne is pure art, form and function that draws our eyes every time we walk into the room.
Amazing quality craftsmanship. The team did a fabulous job on my custom black vanity. The finish is flawless. Thank you Casey for your vision and execution!
