Pair of Maxie Lane Artist-made Tall Sculptural Bar Stools

About the Item

A pair of sculptural stools made by the artist Maxie Lane. Carved out of one piece of wood, they are unique and rustic. The stools are tall perching seats. The raw and open wood finish are light, neutral and natural in appearance. They are wonky, wild and individual. At some point one stool as had two struts removed, but this does not affect the overall appearance. The sizes are different in the two stools, but they are complimentary in size. Maxie Lane was an artist, author and sculptor, the son of an "Irish Tinker", who abandoned him when he was young and left him with an Aunt in Bristol. He served in the army and navy and documented his eperiences in his two autobiographical books, Running and Sea Running. His sculpture entitled, The Last Supper Table, is on permanent display at Furzey Gardens, in the New Forest, and is thought to be the largest English elm sculpture in the world. As an artist he held exhibitions all over the world, including New York and London. He was a guest on television chat shows and featured in national newspapers.
