This appears to be an extremely early George Nelson pedestal desk made for Herman Miller.
It may be from one of his well-known designers Charles Eames or Ray Eames as their teams were developing these lines together.
- We believe it is a early version final prototype. NOT one of the later production models.
- It appears any available production models were copies of this one.
- It may be one of the few in existence especially in this condition.
- It could be an even earlier prototype but it seems to us that it has early layout markings plus a few elements of preproduction models
Original owner's family had it since the late 1950s. All worked in high end design and medical fields and were connected to the right people.
