1968 Executive Desk
Located in Hanover, MA
SATURDAY SALE
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.

Exceptional Louis XV Mazarin Bureau Plat with Fine Marquetry and Gilt Bronze
Located in Antwerp, BE
An exceptional Italian Louis XV / Louis XVI style Mazarin bureau plat, crafted circa 1990, featuring exquisite hand-finished floral marquetry and meticulously applied gilt bronze mounts.
A true statement piece for luxurious interiors and refined settings. This magnificent Italian Mazarin-style bureau plat is a masterwork of craftsmanship in the tradition of the 18th-century French ébénistes, inspired by the renowned François Linke. The Mazarin form is defined by multiple drawers on each side, a central drawer over a door compartment, and elegantly curved cabriole legs joined by a marquetry-adorned stretcher — all present in this refined and balanced design. The desk is richly decorated with intricate hand-finished floral marquetry and classical scroll motifs on the top, sides, and drawer fronts, executed in carefully selected contrasting woods with extraordinary precision and polish.
The gracefully curved legs and cross-stretcher are further enhanced with delicate inlay work and finished with meticulously applied gilt bronze mounts and rosettes. The nine curved drawers, framed in decorative inlay, are fitted with ornate gilt bronze wreath pulls that add to the refined opulence of the piece.
This is a collector’s masterpiece that elevates traditional interiors and seamlessly complements elegant Hollywood Regency spaces, offering timeless sophistication and grand presence. Perfect for luxury residences, distinguished offices, grand libraries, or boutique hotel lobbies.
Dimensions:
Width: 143 cm (56.3 in)
Depth: 73 cm (28.7 in)
Height: 85 cm (33.5 in)
