Description

This rare beauty was designed to keep your office space uncluttered. The body of the desk is crafted from American walnut, the tambours are solid Brazilian rosewood and the sabots are solid brass. The bottom stretcher has an inset of black leather. This desk is fitted with a rare woven cane modesty panel. This desk was once used in the world famous Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Price Tower in Bartlesville Oklahoma. It is in very good original condition and is an heirloom-quality piece. The original key to lock the pencil drawer is included. The back panel is hinged with solid brass hardware that allows for it to convert into a partner's desk. Truly a rare and exceptional piece of modern design history.
