In 1922, the Lincoln Memorial Commission was created to oversee the construction of a memorial to the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. After a design competition, the commission chose architect Henry Bacon's Greek temple design. The glorious leather top features 2 drawers finished in lacquer, complementing the main structure in lacquered wood. The imposing legs of the Lincoln Desk are made with Stripped Estremoz marble, featuring brushed brass details. The mid-century modern desk is a must-have contemporary furniture piece for any luxury home décor.
