Philip and Kelvin LaVerne Rare "Chan Floral" Coffee Table 1950s (Signed)
Evan Lobel
Rare and early “Chan Floral” coffee table in patinated and engraved bronze and pewter with hand-painted blue enamels and lovely botanical motif by Philip & Kelvin LaVerne, American 1958-9 (Signed “Phillip K. LaVerne” on top). This table retains its original gallery label which shows Gem Stone Arts, the company where the LaVernes were experimenting with prototypes before the opening of the Philip LaVerne Gallery on East 57th Street in NYC in 1960. We have never seen another one of these tables. The climbing botanical motif is intricate and beautifully hand-colored. The LaVernes experimented with botanical subject matter throughout their collaboration.
