Context

Gerard Butler’s widely published Chelsea loft features a griffin-leg writing table in the library/office vignettes (Architectural Digest photo feature; listing photos later syndicated on Curbed/StreetEasy). While the magazine does not credit the vendor by brand, the carving program and proportions match Monarch’s MN5023 line.
