USA, c.
1962 walnut, carved wood with applied silver and gold leaf, lapis lazuli 49 w x 36 d x 28½ h in (124 x 91 x 72 cm)
An excellent set of tables that can be used separately or together to form a large surface. Powell has commented that gold and silver leaf in a patchwork pattern was one of his favorite techniques. The reflective metallic surface accentuates the deeply carved bases while highlighting its own luminous characteristics. In addition, clusters of semi-precious lapis lazuli are inlayed into the polished solid wood tabletops.
