Frank Lloyd Wright Mahogany Desk Heritage Henredon 1955/56

Creator: Frank Lloyd Wright -heritage henredon
Offered by: Appleton

Description
A classic nine drawer Honduran Mahogany desk designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his Taliesin line for Heritage Henredon furniture.
Beautifully detailed with a continuous incised carved greek key trim bordering the under edge of the top and the edges of the two supports under the drawers.
This is the only line of furniture that bears his signature and a red chop mark.
The Taliesin line was only in production for two years, 1955/1956.
Due to its design which leans more to his Arts and Crafts work and not his more contemporary Usonian designs the furniture did not find as broad an audience as it might have in the mid-1950s in comparison to Herman Miller, Knoll, Brown- Saltman, Widdicomb, Baker etc.
This accounts for its relative rarity and being signed makes it quite desirable and collectible today.
