Vintage Art Deco "Fletcher Aviation" Executive Desk by Frank Fletcher

About the Item

Beautiful vintage Art Deco “Fletcher Aviation” designed by Frank Fletcher for Fletcher Aviation in the United States, circa 1940s. Due to its design and innovation, this desk is not only a great representative of art deco but also exposes Frank Fletcher's love for aeronautical engineering, which can be seen in every detail of the structure that makes up this piece. Features a captivating design which makes us think that it was designed in an aerodynamic way, which can be deduced by its rounded edges and the symmetry in its figure. The desk has been constructed from the highest quality African mahogany wood, a rare and unique material used to build this desk. This desk features five dovetail drawers, two pull-out writing surfaces, one file drawer, and a central drawer that has a lock that will allow you to keep your most important documents safe. The desk's structure rests on a solid matte black painted metal base which contrasts perfectly with the grains of the African mahogany wood. It is essential to mention the incredible design on the top of the desk, which seems to have the shape of a heart due to the rounded edges it has. Without a doubt, this desk turns out to be an essential piece in any collection and will fit perfectly into your home or office.

  • 1968 Executive Desk
    By Warren Platner
    Located in Hanover, MA
    Executive desk formerly belonging to noted architect George M. Notter, (1933–2007) of the Boston firm Anderson Notter Finegold (now known as Finegold Alexander Architects). Current institutional memory at the firm suggests it was a special order from Herman Miller for the then new New York offices of MGM, however Herman Miller's archivist was unable to confirm. Styling, particularly the distinctive slim milled aluminum tracks through which the entire drawer carriage glides is clearly similar to Warren Platner's designs for Lehigh-Leopold which were then among the most costly of executive office furnishings. The bent flat bar chromed steel base with its distinctive pigeon toe splay is somewhat similar to a table base in Stow Davis' Electa Series, designed by Alexis Yermakov circa 1971. Walnut laminate top is very clean with no issues. One one corner edge shows a small separation. The only identifying markings are within the milled aluminum channel: G.P. F.I. 2 And the date Dec. 20, 1968. See image 18. Between the rectangular laminate top and the chrome base is a heavy blackened steel plate. Underneath the bent chrome pigeon toe feet are bars of a thick phenolic material which act as floor protector. We can have keys made to fit the two locking drawers. Tim Anderson...
