*Please visit our storefront for additional baskets. SOLD INDIVIDUALLY: A collection of antique stoneware dipping baskets once used by plating factories to contain tarnished metal articles as they were submerged in acids in order to be stripped.

An incredibly rare louvered and illuminated room divider in solid walnut floating over a cylindrical brass foot, custom-designed by Vladimir Kagan circa 1967. Six sculptural, marquise-shaped slats are angled at 45 degrees to the frame and flank the light box which houses a single 6-foot fluorescent bulb. Authenticated by and registered with the Vladimir Kagan Design Group, this piece is offered to the collector with all corresponding documents including certificate of authenticity, company letter, related archival photos, and numbered registration plaque. While their archivists have seen similar slatted dividers that Kagan designed (see last image in this listing), they’d not seen one with an incorporated lighting element before and thus feel that this example may well be one-of-a-kind or, at the very least, from a strictly limited run. That said, it seems that this general concept of combining lighting with room partitioning...

A one-off, fantastical table by American craftsman, Andrew J Willner, executed in rare, spalted wormy maple, its five individual sections sculpted by hand and constructed with pegged mortise and tenon joinery. A dramatic pair of legs that are an amalgam of human and avian forms supports a top surface riddled with worm holes and whose outline serves as reference to a bird's beak and plumage. Made as a gift for Willner's parents, the underside bears a carved inscription: "'Mortgage Table' Thanks mom and dad, Love Andy & Diana, AJW April 76". A quintessential example of 1970s fantasy studio furniture. Well-preserved, in all original condition. Literature: Meilach, D. Z. (1975). Creating modern furniture (pp. 288–289).
