Lot 112
"Among the most inventive of the company's wood jewelry at present are the chessman brooches, which draw their inspiration from the ivory and neo-gemstone examples from the 1950s. Each knight on horseback is carved either from rosewood or cocobolo and then "dressed" with jewels in a similar manner as the earlier pieces. Each wears an exotic hat set with pearls or colored gemstones, and a floral-type embellishment over his left shoulder. In addition, a jewel is held in the left hand of each chessman and gemstones or pearls line the base. These figures are as sought after today as were they were in the 1950s. Each one is different and has its own personality. They are one-of-a-kind sculptures that also function as jewelry." Cf.: Seaman Schepps, A century of New York Jewelry design, The Vendome Press, 2004, pg. 196, for a illustration of similar brooches.
