Description
This is a Custom 2-position credenza, produced in 1965 and designed by Davis Allen and Gordon Bunshaft for the interior of the Chase Manhattan Bank headquarters, one of Bunshaft and SOM’s most notable projects. It features walnut veneer throughout the piece, and sports polished steel pulls, legs, and trim. It has a lovely travertine marble slab on the top. This piece is fully finished on all sides, allowing it to float in a room. Bunshaft was an important American architect; a leading figure in the modernist movement who was widely recognized for his work in skyscraper design. Davis Allen worked alongside and with Bunshaft for decades, leading the design of interiors and furniture.
This cabinet measures 19 inches long, 36 inches wide, and 26.5 inches high including its stone top. There are some superficial scratches and nicks to the veneer, and some light scratches to the steel trim. There is a very shallow chip on the travertine top at the back corner. Overall, this piece is in very good condition with some light wear apparent. Please see photos.
