Studio Crafted Wood Marquetry Bookends by Jere Osgood
By Jere Osgood
Located in San Diego, CA
A pair of bookends by Jere Osgood. Handcrafted with incredible detail and marquetry.
This particular design was sold through the American Craft Council's gallery, America House (see catalog page). The shop operated from the 1940's to 1970s in New York and sold works by Elsa Freund, Michael Coffey, Wharton Esherick, Paolo Soleri, Ronald Hayes Pearson, Earl Pardon, Tage Frid, Marguerite Wildenhain, and Wendell Castle.
Jere Osgood (1936-2023) was an American studio furniture maker, and teacher of furniture and woodworking. He taught for many years in the Boston University Program in Artisanry. He was born in 1936 and raised in Staten Island, New York. He studied architecture at the University of Illinois but left after two years to pursue furniture design and fabrication. Thereafter, he enrolled at the School of American Craftsmen at Rochester Institute of Technology and learned furniture making under Tage Frid. Osgood was also influenced by the work of Wharton Esherick. He supported himself while in school by fabricating and selling small wood objects of his own design. Osgood established a studio in New Milford, Connecticut, where he made small objects. In the late 1960s he began to make large projects and explored different techniques of laminating wood. He published his explorations of lamination between 1977 and 1979 in Fine Woodworking magazine. Osgood taught briefly at Philadelphia College of Art, then at Rochester Institute of Technology for three years. In 1975, he moved to Boston University where he worked with Dan Jackson...
