Description: This is an extraordinarily special cabinet by Jens Risom for Jens Risom Design, which came from The Seagram Building, arguably one of the most important works of architecture in the world, designed by Mies van der Rohe with some interiors by Philip Johnson. As far as its history and style, this is a classic ebonized wood credenza from Risom. It was originally specified with one of his classic pull designs, two locks (missing currently but new locks can be sourced if desired), and a chromed steel base. Notably, two photos by renowned architectural photographer Ezra Stoller from 1958 show this exact design (both longer, one with different pulls) in situ within The Seagram Building, confirming that this was a cabinet that was part of the original interiors fit-out. Furthermore, this cabinet retains an original label underneath stating "Seagram F-187 Furniture & Fixtures." As far as condition, the cabinet arrived to us with a couple of veneer issues on the side and small chips on the edge, so it has recently been repaired professionally and the black case finish has been refreshed. Please see photos. The base is in nice original condition. For now, we have not looked to source the replacement locks, as they have a tendency to scratch the doors in some contexts. It measures 72.25 inches long, 32.5 inches tall, and 18.5 inches deep. The buyer may pick up the furniture, have it shipped by our shipping partners (buyer will pay for full shipping cost, though will not have to arrange it), or discuss potential delivery within reason following the end of the auction. The listed shipping cost is an estimate, though we can likely stay below that number for most areas of the country. If you win the item, we can discuss shipping options, prices, etc. and we will make sure that it is as inexpensive for you as possible. We work with a shipper locally who takes great care in their work and has been complemented often on their packing and shipping quality.
