Philip and Kelvin LaVerne Rare "The Garden at Versailles" Coffee Table 1960s (Signed) - SOLD
Evan Lobel
Very rare coffee table "The Garden at Versailles" in patinated and engraved bronze and pewter with hand-painted enamels by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, American 1960's (signed “Philip + Kelvin LaVerne”). This coffee table is exquisite. It was made as a collector’s edition so there are very few. The LaVernes experimented with raising the edges of tables to more formally frame the artwork on the table top. The results speak for themselves.
