Description
George Nakashima (American, 1905-1990), Conoid Bench
1960s, walnut and hickory, slightly curved walnut crest rail with (18) oak spindles, single board figured walnut plank seat with live-edge, butterfly joint to the right side, raised on four turned tapered legs, very faint partial ink inscription to underside (illegible).
30 x 81.5 x 36 in.
A declared National Treasure, Nakashima utilized natural knot holes, old shrinkage cracks stabilized with butterfly joints and showcasing live-edges to retain the character of the trees used in the construction of his pieces.
