For collectors of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, this incredible limited edition double-signed 'Lo Ta Hexagonal Cube' polychromed and etched bronze and pewter side table on casters is functional fine art created in the 1960s by New York father and son team. This design and motif is described by the LaVernes as "Lo Ta Hexagonal Cubes - Created in a limited edition, a trio of functional sculptures, each having an Oriental design sculpted on all sides. Burnished functional bronze surfaces complete the sculptures." This oh-so-gorgeous and oh-so-rare 'Lo Ta' side table features a similar motif to the 'Tao' and 'Su-Tao' series in patinated etched bronze and pewter containing hand applied polychrome with gorgeous artistic etchings of an Asian scenery depicting the panorama of life in ancient China with weeping willows, buildings and people in ancient formal garbs, with the top finished in intentionally-patinated acid washed bronze similar to the 'Classical' series, completed in the 1960s by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, a father and son American artisan team. Signed on two sides with Phillip and Kelvin LaVerne's signature. Resting on casters which allows for ease of relocation, and underside covered in a burnt orange colored felt. This rare, coveted, in-demand and sought-after occasional table is best described as a functional sculpture. Philip and Kelvin considered themselves artists, rather than furniture makers, and their gallery motto was "Works of Art". So for most of the collector and antique dealer world, we consider this a sculpture that can be used as a side table, end table, drinks table, bedside table, occasional table, tray table, TV-dinner table, laptop computer table great for Zoom meetings, writing and notes table, telephone table, lamp table, sculpture pedestal, or just as a stand-alone work of art. It is sturdy and structurally sound, and since the materials are of a strong and robust nature - it is absolutely suitable for every day use. But of course, if you prefer, you can place it in your room purely for viewing purposes, it is similar to any other piece of quality Fine Art that you would otherwise place on a museum wall. This incredible work of art still retains its original hand applied polychroming. Often this gets removed through vigorous over-cleaning and can affect its long term value. This table possesses all of its beautiful blue, green and orange polychroming and soft subtle patina throughout. An excellent and fine example for the distinguished connoisseur, collector or art and design investor. This 'Lo Ta' Chinoiserie side table by Philip & Kelvin LaVerne is an incredible option for the most discriminating client or collector. Consider for a Mid-Century Modern, Modern, Post-Modern or Contemporary home. Also an interesting addition of Juxtaposition in a French neoclassical, Traditional, Spanish, Transitional or Hollywood Regency room. Due to its formidable materials, this is suitable for residential or commercial use, perfect for any magazine-cover-worthy interior design project.
