About the Item

Elegant bench with integrated drawer attributed to Harvey Probber. This piece came out of an estate where all the furniture in the same finish was purchased from Harvey Probber. The family stated this bench was Probber too and purchased at the same time as all the other pieces. The other pieces were labelled, but somehow this piece is missing its original label. The identical bench sold on 1st Dibs, in original (somewhat damaged) finish for $5,800. This design seems to have been built with the ability to display something on the pedestal form end (etagere). The small discreet integrated drawer could be a great place to drop keys at the end of the day. Very thoughtful in all of its proportions. A fine example of Harvey Probber's work. Probber's craftsmanship is on par with that of Dunbar and he worked in the same vein as Edward Wormley. We sent the bench out to be professionally refinished. It is stunning. The cushion shown with the bench (in later photos) is the original. Given the bench can be used with or without the cushion, we thought it best to leave it in its original form for the new owner to either reupholster to match their interior or leave off entirely. Probber established Harvey Probber, Inc., in 1945 and quickly became one of America's leading designers. Though considered a modern designer, his approach to modernity favored exotic woods, highly polished lacquer, hand-rubbed finishes and opulent upholstery materials largely abandoned by Bauhaus-influenced designers. He is also credited with inventing modular and sectional seating. Probber's designs, like those of Edward Wormley and Tommi Parzinger featured modern furniture without sacrificing elegance. In little over a decade, Harvey Probber, Inc. became one of the country's leading contemporary furniture firms. Probber furniture is still highly collectible today.
