A Pair Of Robsjohns-Gibbings Benches

A rare and unique pair of Robsjohns -Gibbings benches. Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings (“Gibby” to his friends) first achieved prominence in 1937 for his reconstructions of classical Greek furniture. Of course, no actual ancient Greek furniture is known to have survived, but he was the first to attempt its recreation, which he based on imaginative sketches he had made of the furniture depicted in ancient vase paintings and bronzes in the British Museum. He later recalled, “On Greek vases I saw furniture that was young, untouched by time. . . . Vitality, surging through the human figures on the vases, surged through this furniture.” reprinted form AD
