Handmade Sheraton Style Writing Desk
About the Item
This 18th Century Sheraton Style Writing Desk is the work performed as final project by a recent graduate of the North Bennet Street School, an internationally renowned craft and trade school in Boston which teaches and upholds the principles and practices of the craftsmanship tradition.
According to the NBSS website, Pauline Agassiz Shaw, NBSS's founder, was a visionary educator and proponent of the Swedish system of manual training known as “sloyd” which means “craft” or “hand skills.” The sloyd method focused on the development of character and intellectual capacity, as well as technical skills. This method encourages students to systematically develop their hand skills, along with an understanding of tools, materials, processes, and a sense of care and commitment to excellence in their craft. Shaw saw the NBSS’s mission as teaching the “whole person” not only how to make a living, but how to live.

- 1968 Executive DeskBy Warren PlatnerLocated in Hanover, MAExecutive 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...Category
