Commissioned piece","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare and early example of work by Dutch-Australian artist Gerard Havekes (1925–2011), this set of three side tables represents a significant departure from his well-known ceramic tile furniture. Rather than his signature hand-glazed ceramic tiles, the tops feature individually hand-worked brass\/copper plates inset into solid Blackwood timber tops — each plate uniquely textured and composed, making this a genuinely sculptural commission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe three tables are designed to be used together or independently. Tops and brass plates are in excellent condition and retain their original patina. The brass-finished metal frames show surface corrosion and wear consistent with their age — buyers seeking pristine condition should note this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHavekes’ work is highly collectable and he is an increasingly sought-after artist whose work continues to appreciate. Pieces of this medium and this early a date have in our understanding never before come to market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003eLargest: 106 x 30 x 45cm\u003cbr\u003eMedium: 91 x 30 x 44cm\u003cbr\u003eSmallest: 50.5 x 30 x 44cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable to view in our studio in Wahroonga.
