Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, Sculpture III, catalogue, n.d., p. 30 (for a related "Spring Festival" table)

Condition

Overall very good original condition. The console retains a significant amount of the original highly saturated coloration as seen in the catalogue illustration. The top with some small and minor surface scratches and light abrasions, which are consistent with age and gentle use. With a few scattered discolorations that are consistent with use and the natural aging process of the patinated metal.. A wonderfully detailed motif and complementing structural design that shows the wonderful narrative decorative motif for which they are widely recognized.
