If Salvidor Dali had been born Norwegian

$2,900.00
12 × 2.5 × 37 in

This is a traditional carving I designed but morphed into an amorphous, melting glob; not quite a melting clock. I carved a number of studies in this realm. But this is it. I love the baroque carving that Norway is known for but I find little use for this style of work in the last 20 years.

When I designed this for a show in 2000, I realized the larger arch of the back rest allowed me to design the Grande sized chairs I make, These chairs are 1 1/2" wider than my Original chairs
These chairs are made from high fugure veneer logs I buy directly from the saw mill in Pennsylvania.
Hand Carved Wooden Spoon, 5.25” x 1.25” x 12.25”h, John Thoe, $140, jth005
This price includes table and 2 arm and 4 side chairs in the Original size. The table is $5850, each arm chair is $1625 and side chair is $1450.The grande size is $16,000.
I designed this to accompany along side a grand piano or over looking a vast view by a window. Sitting above what a chair would place you, the impact is that which you'd experience standing.
Notice the pillowing effect on the crest rail. The roll over makes for even a more comfortable fit.
