About the Item
This monumental credenza spans over 10 feet with exotic Macassar Ebony wood, finished on both sides, with hefty brass accents and height-adjustable disc feet. One side is scalloped and can be utilized to fit a round planter, swivel chair, or sculpture (see photos).
Designed by Leon Rosen and custom made for Johnny Carson by Pace Furniture. Acquired from the Estate of Johnny Carson and restored in 2019.
Cabinet features five doors concealing interior cabinet space with one file drawer and one accessories drawer. The rear is fully finished so this can float in a room and be used as a room divider / separator. Ideal as a credenza or sideboard, also can be utilized as a media center or low dresser / linen cabinet.

CONDITION:
Very good condition. Previously restored with a French Polish finish. I acquired this in 2019 and restored it, then used it in my personal home for 4 years until we sold the home and moved.

Presents well and ready for immediate use.

By Vladimir Kagan, Kagan-Dreyfuss, Inc.

Brazilian Modern Credenza in Hardwood
Brass Handles, Jean Gillon, 1960s
By Jean Gillon
Located in New York, NY
Available today, this Mid-Century Modern Credenza in Hardwood with Brass finishes designed by Jean Gillon in the sixties in Brazil is the FIND of the year.
The credenza has a rectangular structure made of Brazilian Rosewood, known as Jacaranda, with two main legs and two support legs on each side. It has five large drawers and four doors with shelves inside. The brass finishes are located in the joints, fringes and keys.
There are few reasons why this credenza is one-of-a-kind: First, the high end wood work. This piece was commissioned for a private residence in Sao Paulo and it shows. The joints, the wood carving, the smooth curves in the drawers, even the hidden toothpick support legs are superbly finished. Second, the rosewood is of the finest quality which can be seen in the wood veins, the grain and smoothness of the wood. Lastly, design. This piece has all the components of a true Brazilian Modern piece with straight almost brutalist silhouettes softened with smooth curves (seen in the drawers and edges) that resemble Modernist architecture from Brasilia of the sixties.
Owning a Jean Gillon piece like this is not just about acquiring a beautiful piece of furniture; it's also about possessing a part of Brazilian design history and culture. This credenza is a testament to Jean Gillon’s creativity and vision, and it would make an excellent addition to any interior space that values and appreciates the significance of this design.
The credenza is showcased in our showroom next to Jorge Zalszupin’s bar cart...
