About the Item

Wonderful architectural jewelry box by the talented British born California artist Po Shun Leong, Leung. It is quite sculptural and will stand alone as unique piece of art or function as a jewelry box. Signed on the base and dated 89. it is made of quite a few exotic woods which are listed on the bottom. Buckeye burl, Cocobolo, Wenge, Narra, Mahogany, Pink Ivory Wood, Kingwood, Maple and Koa. In good vintage age appropriate condition with some minor flaws which are pictured in the detailed photos. His works are in the permanent collection of Los Angeles Museum of art, LACMA and the Smithsonian in Washington,DC among many others. From Wikipedia a brief bio of the artist: Po Shun Leong (born 15 March 1941) is an English artist, former architect, sculptor and furniture maker. He was born at Northampton, England and educated at the Quaker Leighton Park School in Berkshire, and then at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, in London, and has resided in Southern California since 1981. He is also known since the late 1980s for his highly intricate one-of-a-kind wood boxes, some now in museum collections. The Landscape box, a constantly evolving series since 1983 is architectural in character and built up of many different woods in their natural colors. They are inspired from ancient or legendary civilizations. He maintains a studio in the garden of his residence in the City of Winnetka in the San Fernando Valley, north west of Los Angeles. He continues to make elaborate wood objects and is developing a line of simple, sculpturally-inspired furniture.
