Jens Risom Walnut Credenza / Cabinet on Ebonized Plinth Base with Key
American Modern credenza / cabinet by Jens Risom in walnut with an ebonized plinth base and sculpted, metal pulls, circa 1950s. Features a total of twelve drawers of various heights and one hinged-door cabinet with an adjustable shelf.
This useful storage solution, suitable for home or office, balances form and function by offering abundant drawer and cabinet space without compromising aesthetic. The ebonized base and pulls offer a sleek complement to the dark grain of the walnut, and the bookmatching along with sculptural elements add a refined elegance to a sturdy, practical piece.
Very nice, refinished condition but wear remains (most notably, few surface spots of wear to the right side and a slight tonal variation between some of the drawers, due to the nature of the veneer).

John Risley ‘Duyan’ Rattan and Iron Sling Chair
This unique lounge chair was designed in 1953 by John Risley for Ficks Reed. A combination of braiding and weaving techniques were used to create the rattan ‘basket,’ which is anchored at both top and bottom by carved bamboo rails. This basket seat is supported by a painted iron frame. Although intended for outdoor use, covered outdoor use is advisable. Alternatively, the basket seat can be removed from the base and stored during inclement weather.
Condition Notes: Good. A few strands of rattan have been replaced to both replace minor loss and prevent future breaks (some of the precarious pieces were pro-actively switched out with matching replacements).

Karnig Nalbandian ‘Blue Doll’ Oil on Canvas, 1953
Karnig Nalbandian (1916-1989) was a providence, RI born artist of Armenian descent, most widely regarded for his etchings (generally biblical in subject). Although, a very skilled painter, Nalbandian was less regarded in that medium.
‘Blue Doll’ has a folk art quality; the girl and her doll are crudely composed (a departure from his meticulously etched masterworks). Lovely color combination and charming subject.
Signed on the bottom right corner “Nalbandian ’58” and titled on the reverse with original price, signatures (x2), and artist’s address.
Unframed.
