(Walt Disney Studios, 1939-40) An original Walt Disney Studios animator's desk designed by Kem Weber for the new Burbank studio in 1940. Different artists at the studio had different needs, and in designing the desks for the new studio, Weber made sure to include features that would accommodate everyone. This desk includes a special shelving unit on top for holding drawings and paper as well as special compartmentalized drawers. These original Kem Weber desks are an exceptionally rare part of Disney animation history. This particular desk came from the estate of Animator Jack Kerns. Included with this desk are some of Kerns' art supplies and 3 original personal paintings. The desk measures approximately 72" wide, 40" deep, and 50" tall. The condition is very good with some expected wear from studio use, including a 5"x5" area on the side where the wood laminate has some chipping. This item will require special shipping arrangements, please contact us for inquiries and estimates.
