Midcentury Tray, Slate and Rosewood by Harpswell House with Paul Evans Influence
About the Item
Beautifully crafted and beautifully preserved, this black slate and rosewood tray -- originally made to serve as an ashtray, but now a perfect piece to position on a desk, kitchen counter or vestibule -- was crafted by the famed Harpswell House in Maine. Paul Evans and Phil Powell are rumored to have played a role in designing pieces for Harpswell, and indeed this tray seems a close cousin to Evans' metal furniture, but there is no hard evidence that they served as designers for this firm. Harpswell House, founded in 1960, still exists, and is known for crafting pieces -- many serving as commemorative objects -- from slate and hardwoods, though of course rosewood is no longer used. Both the slate and wood virtually glow; the original label survives on the bottom.

To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...Category
