Large Bespoken Sculpted Steel Table with Slate Top Albert Paley
About the Item
A striking steel and stone table studio-made by American sculptor Albert Paley (1944-). The table heavy and substantial and will be a bespoken center piece and a focal point with its otherworldly presence. Highly sculptural frame was made from forged steel in the iconic style instantly recognizable by the artist. The design of the pedestaled frame is ingenuine to support two pieces of thick polished black slabs. They are most likely soapstone with subtle embedded natural elements, honed to a beautiful black matt finish. Each of triangular shape, together they meet along their diagonal divide to form a square top. The hard steel, as a medium, was manipulated by the artist to its physical limit and appears to be soft and flowing like organic matter. The slab was beveled and notched along the edge and carried two groove design that converge in the center of the table to complement the form of the frame. The table bears the Impressed signature and date to base "ALBERT PALEY 1990". The table is very heavy as a large model, also with thick granite top. It has a substantial presence that will be a focal point for any space.
Albert Paley is one of the most distinguished and influential metalsmiths in the world and first metal sculptor to have received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Institute of Architects.

- Bespoken Leather Belt with Sculptural Sterling Buckles Graziella LaffiBy Graziella LaffiLocated in Atlanta, GAA wide leather belt with sterling silver buckle and matching ornaments crafted by Graziella Laffi, Lima, Peru, circa 1965. The prominent silver articles feature the shape and motif rooted in pre-Columbian culture that inspired the artist's work. Mark on verso: PERU 950, extended size is 47 x 3 inches (119.4 x 7.6 cm) and weight is about 428 grams. Belt length adjustable between 27 to 38 inches. This lot with partially effaced Peruvian Cultural Ministry label to verso. Graziella Laffi was born in 1923 in Florence, Italy to Gino Laffi, a silversmith and artist. Following her family tradition, Graziella enrolled in master classes after elementary school, focusing on design and painting. She next attended Escuela de Bellas Artes de Puerta Romana for three years, where Gino taught, and then to the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, where she concentrated in architecture until the start of World War II. In 1947, Graziella, then twenty-four, immigrated with her parents to Peru. Gino later created a silversmith studio and showroom called Fabrica Laffi on Avenue Mexico, where Graziella initially learned her Craft. The Pre-Columbian culture in her adopted country inspired Graziella to travel and collect, which ultimately influence her design in the silver pieces. Graziella learned the metalworking techniques of the ancient Peruvian civilizations and rejected the current technology. She mostly used hammering, rolling and creating joints as the ancients do. As an ambassador of Peruvian culture, her work promoted the indigenous Peruvian art and rekindled the interest in its ancient heritage throughout South America, the United States and Europe. She exhibited her growing collection of Peruvian artifacts...Category
