United States
circa 1960’s

Rare and generously proportioned rectangular "Etruscan Spiral" cocktail table of patinated bronze and pewter with dashes of polychrome. Designed and hand-crafted by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, circa 1960's, with a pattern consisting of bronze forms embedded in pewter, reminiscent of ancient Etruscan artistry. Through constant experimentation, Philip developed a technique of patination using Asian soils, imparting an archaeological quality to their designs, each of which was unique in its coloration and patination.
