Rare and Important “K'ang Hsi” extension table with top in engraved and patinated bronze and pewter with hand-painted enamels by Philip & Kelvin LaVerne, American 1960s (signed on both leaves and center section, “Philip & Kelvin LaVerne”). The base is hand-brazed in patinated and engraved bronze with green patina. There are 4 symbols on the leaves which represent prosperity and longevity.  According to Kelvin LaVerne, very few of these were made and it could take a year to complete a single table. It is a tour de force of design and showcases the fine artisanship of Philip & Kelvin LaVerne.
