Witco Bar and Stools with Dragon and Seahorse Decoration
This spectacular Witco bar and corresponding stools with foot rests are solid red cedar with hand-carved decoration throughout. The original techniques involved burning then waxing the wood to complement the coarse grain. The back side of the bar houses two shelves with limited space below the bottom tier for barware and bottles. The color, detail and texture of these pieces are magnificent. The velvet on the bar itself is original; the foam and golden wheat tweed upholstery on the stools is new.

Bar: H: 47.9″ x W: 36.25″ x D: 20″

Zarebski Mid-Century Greenstone Mayan Bookends
Fantastic bookends from the Polish artist, Zarebski, who, upon moving to Mexico in the 1960s, was heavily influenced by the Aztec / Mayan aesthetic.
Zarebski’s work is composed of his signature ‘greenstone,’ a combination of resin with crushed green, yellow, and brown stones.
These examples are artist mounted stone figures to walnut boards. Ideal as bookends but work as individual sculptures.
A fine example of lapidary craftsmanship and wonderful homage to Mayan / Aztec art.
