The Fletcher Art deco Desk from Fletcher Aviation of Pasadena

This is a unique and super original art deco desk, kind of an Art Deco Icon. One really needs to see it in person to appreicate the subtle design and over all style of this great American made desk. The front inside drawer has a beautiful engraved copper placque or medallion that says "The Fletcher Desk" and a patent 140,501. The medallion has a stylized airplane and the words "Fletcher Aviation" and "Giving Wings to the World! Its Very cool.

A large and unusual shapely desk is very unique, rather heart-shaped with the user at the top, and the (rounded) point facing the sides. It was designed by Frank Fletcher and also manufactured by the Fletcher Aviation company in Pasadena, CA, around 1945. This particular desk has just gone through a complete restroation and refinishing. The wood is a warm brown mahangony color and the base stands a black lacquer kick that looks great together.

Lots of great storage with a bank of drawers on each side plus the coin, pencil front drawer with engraved medallion. This is a real "power" desk and I can see many great "deals" done sitting at the helm.
