Professional Art Deco Desk by Stow and Davis

Item #2447 SOLD

Executive Art Deco desk, extremely well made in America (Grand Rapids, Michigan) by Stow & Davis.  Twin pedestal bases with a complementary top, echoes this classic shape. Very nice mahogany veneers and  lots of drawers for just about everything:   There are a total of 8 drawers; one filing cabinet size drawer, one shallow stationary drawer, 2 smaller drawers, and 4 average size drawers. There are 2 writing tablets that pull out on either side of the chair opening. Great original naturally polished brass hardware which allows complete control over all the drawers that are nicely sectioned off with original ebonized wood backplates.   Original manufacturers tag line in the upper center pencil/change drawer. I know this desk very well as I had a similar model I used for about 12 years and sold it after we moved out from our San Francisco location.

 

Along with being a gorgeous desk it also has a story. This is the same desk as the one Thomas Francis developed the flu vaccine on and Jonas Salk worked at during field trials of the Polio vaccine at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. That desk was refinished to be displayed at the University of Michigan museum.
