Sensational rich green marble desk originally made for the iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel, NYC.
Wonderful condition with light wear from age and use
The ormolu mounts are original and have a lovely patina.
The Waldorf Astoria opened it doors in 1931. Since then every living president has stayed in this hotel. Rock stars, movie stars, royalty, and everyone else in the jet set lifestyle has stayed within those famous walls. When the hotel was originally built, it was the tallest hotel in the world and boasted 1417 rooms. The largest suite in the hotel was lived in by Cole Porter. Once Cole Porter passed away Nancy and Frank Sinatra lived there. None other than The Who was banned for life for their ruckus behaviour, but reinstated once the Waldorf was hosting the Rock N Roll hall of fame induction ceremony and The Who was being inducted. Talk about a thumbing of the nose!
