Description
Very rare and important "Odyssey Cabinet" with ancient Greek motif in patinated bronze and pewter with hand-painted enamels by Philip & Kelvin LaVerne, American 1960’s (signed “Kelvin Philip LaVerne” on front of door). Interior has a speckled green lacquer. Drawer and shelf fronts are bronze. Every element of this cabinet is magnificent. On the left door, there is an artist sketching on the steps of the Parthenon. Kelvin LaVerne explained to Evan Lobel that he drew himself into the scene. Only a few of these were made according to Kelvin, making them extremely rare. A superb work of art.
