SOLD 1958 Vintage George Nelson for Herman Miller Swag Leg Desk in Walnut and Chrome
Listed for sale is a very rare and original George Nelson for Herman Miller swag or swaged leg desk. This is a gloriously hard to come by example, retaining its original mid to late 1950's white and silver round Herman Miller medallion and original detailing (such as the multi-color panels). This is the first early example we've ever seen up close and the first we've had in our possession. This example was produced for Herman Miller from 1958 until 1964 and then was reintroduced more recently by Herman Miller in 2006. Given the early white and silver medallion, this example dates to 1958 or soon after, as the label was transitioned to a black and silver medallion in the late 1950's. The desk measures 29 inches tall by 54 inches wide and 32 inches deep. To our knowledge, this is the only example currently for sale in the US and of those available internationally, this is certainly in the best condition. For context, condition of this example is lovely with some light wear and patina, though is overall and delightfully preserved example.
