Burl Maple and Rosewood Art Deco Waterfall Executive Desk

About the Item

Everyone here on team FMV adores this desk. We don't know much (if anything) about the origin, maker or designer, but it's awesome nonetheless. Similar to the Henredon "Scene Two" deco revival style from 1970's, mixed with classic Modern. The trademark waterfall edges and heavy lacquer finish are reminiscent of the 1940's art deco esthetics, with the exotic allure of burl maple and rosewood. The contrasting yet complimentary wood specimens elevate this desk above its peers. Behold the fiery, cathedral grain on the rosewood. This dazzling, repeating vertical pattern on the skirt was intentional and effective. Beautifully finished on all sides and stunning from every angle. The flat-faced burl maple drawers with silver metal ball pulls, provide adequate storage while remaining sleek and sexy. The construction, fit and finish are second to none.

  • 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...
