About the Item

Discover the exquisite craftsmanship of Larry, an artisan celebrated for his mastery of desert ironwood. These captivating pieces, from a private collector, feature a beautifully shaped vessel and an elegant bowl, both showcasing the striking patterns and rich hues of the wood and inlaid with natural stone turquoise. Larry Favorite is a North Carolina-based wood sculptor, known for his unique use of desert ironwood, which he combines with turquoise and silver inlay to create sculptures like bowls, boxes, and plaques. A former mechanical engineer, Favorite left his business career to pursue his passion for art over 40 years ago, finding deep personal satisfaction in the process of working with the wood to reveal its innate beauty. His work is characterized by a natural, southwestern influence and a desire to create pieces that evoke a sense of peace. Decorative Vessel / Vase Sculpture: 8.5"W x14.87"H x 2.25D This striking vessel or faux vase is a sculpture. The top hole is 1" deep.It flaunts a sophisticated silhouette, merging tradition with modern aesthetics. The design highlights the natural grain of the desert ironwood, accentuated by vibrant turquoise inlays that add a pop of color and finesse. Signed on the bottom in script L. Favorite. Bowl: 10.25"W x 3"H x 9.93"D The accompanying bowl boasts a wide, flat base and graceful curves, embodying simplicity and elegance. Like the vessel, it showcases the unique beauty of desert ironwood, enriched by the bold turquoise accents and is a testament to fine artistry. Signed on the bottom in script L. Favorite. Larry embraces the challenge of understanding and collaborating with the wood, allowing its inherent beauty to dictate the form of the final piece. He strives to imbue his artwork with a sense of inner peace, hoping that those who interact with his pieces can feel it as well. His pieces have sold in galleries and purchase by notable figures of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Both pieces exemplify Larry's dedication to quality and his passion for working with natural materials, making them perfect additions to any home decor or art collection. Their distinct character will undoubtedly spark conversation and admiration. \
