Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin Mahogany Desk +Typing Table Heritage Henredon, 1955

Product Details

Product Description

This classic nine-drawer Honduran mahogany desk, professionally refinished, comes with a separate typewriter table designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his Taliesin line of furniture, manufactured by Heritage Henredon of Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1955. The two pieces can be pulled apart, creating a trendy workstation that is perfectly scaled for internet devices. Once you're done, simply slide the typewriter table into the desk's kneehole for easy storage. Featuring a simplistic design with signature Greek-key edge detailing, this rare Frank Lloyd Wright design can also double as a sofa or bedside table and is lightweight and easy to relocate. Only in production from 1955 to 1957, this limited, two-year production line is a highly sought-after and rare collector's item. Signatured with the red square Frank Lloyd Wright signature, this desk is a testament to Wright's vision of designing furniture that is both efficient and beautiful. Each piece in the Taliesin line features a chamfered wood edge with an abstracted Greek-key motif, making it distinct and highly desirable to collectors. All of the furniture in this line is executed in Honduran Mahogany, a striking choice with distinctive graining. Wright's idea behind the design was to create furniture that had infinite adaptability to American living, allowing desks to be used as dressing tables and bookcases to transform into room dividers. The removal of hardware door or drawer pulls in favor of cut-out flush pulls was done to create innovative shadow patterns. The Taliesin line by Frank Lloyd Wright can work in an Arts & Crafts, Mission, Monterey, Spanish, Mid-Century, Scandinavian, Danish Modern, Contemporary, or Post-Modern home. This desk is in excellent restored condition, with only minor signs of age. It is ready to use and love immediately. This seldom-found piece from the Taliesin line does not follow the pricing guide from GLINT. The desk measures H 24.5" x W 23.75" x D 19.25".
