MID CENTURY MODERN DESK APOTHECARY 3 LEG EAMES ERA UNIQUE HAND MADE 1 OF A KIND! - $8,000 - (San Diego, CA)
Up for sale is this tremendously complex and artistic work by now deceased artist Brian Chinneck. Chinneck was born in Nairobi Kenya in 1953. He has lived various places during his life but died while he was in San Diego, California. When I first set eyes on the work I thought of space age or spider-like. He's not around to ask unfortunately. The cabinet is so complex that to undertake this ambitious undertaking would seem daunting to the average person :even a fellow artist. It is all done by dovetail , mortise and through tennons, and butterfly joints. The drawers are each tailered for the specific space: the boxes are all numbered to keep them straight. There are 16 drawers plus a longer one in the middle which houses a spare drawer. The width is 48". The height at the highest point is 42". The depth is 13" to 18":the drawer section actually come out the body to make the variation. The drawer section which comes out is 24" wide. The arc/spider legs are 38" tall. Picture no.10 is rotated a bit. It is of the back side. This would have to be local pick up only. I live near downtown San Diego, California. It is very sturdy:impeccably crafted.
