Lot Essay
cf. Herman Miller Furniture Collection, 1949, pp. 12, 40-41, model 4656
This is one of the most painstakingly designed of all the pieces in the entire Herman Miller collection. To eliminate the usual dropped edge that appears when the leaves are down, a special wood hinge was worked out. Instead of one gateleg on a side, there are two, giving much added stability.
The table matches the 24x34 cases exactly and may be lined up with them.
