Description
Philip and Kelvin LaVerne bronze patinated coffee table.
Philip and Kelvin LaVerne created one of a kind and limited edition pieces, often re-interpreting classical chinoiserie designs, as well as Egyptian, Greek and Etruscan illustrations. They had a highly unusual manner for producing their signature finish on the metals they used, which involved burying the metal furniture in the ground encased in a secret “brew” of Asian soil and chemicals.
Kelvin, the son, started working with his father in 1960 after extensive studies in art history, metal sculpturing and furniture design. They opened a studio on Wooster Street in New York City where they created their masterpieces of patinated bronze, pewter and silver. At one time they had a store on East 57th Street in Manhattan, and were for some time represented by Baker Furniture and exhibited at various galleries. The majority of their furnishings and sculptures were produced Mid-Century through the 1980s. -
