Robert Kuo Limited Edition Lantern Buffet McGuire

Product details

Seller's Notes:Robert Kuo Limited Edition Lantern Buffet for McGuire, signed as piece #39 Part of Robert Kuo's inaugural limited-edition furniture collection for McGuire, this signed four-door buffet is handcrafted in antiqued copper repoussé over an elm wood frame with a lacquered finish. Featured in Architectural Digest, "Celebrating 30 Years of Sophisticated Robert Kuo Design," August 31, 2014, it exemplifies Kuo's mastery of the ancient repoussé technique through its striking hand-hammered geometric relief. The cabinet features three drawers, two removable shelves, and touch-latch doors. Individually handcrafted, no two examples are exactly alike. Robert Kuo is a Chinese-born artist and designer renowned for blending ancient Asian craftsmanship with Art Deco and Art Nouveau influences. After apprenticing in his father's cloisonné workshop in Taiwan, he moved to the U.S. in 1973 and established a celebrated studio in Beverly Hills. His sculptural furniture, lighting, and decorative objects, crafted using techniques such as cloisonné and repoussé, have earned international recognition, with works in the Smithsonian's permanent collection and prestigious hotels and museums worldwide. Today, Kuo is regarded as one of the foremost contemporary masters of decorative arts. Limited Edition Signed - #39 Feather Design 4 Door Buffet Antiqued Copper Hand Repoussé Elm Wood Lacquered 3 Drawers 2 Shelves (Removable) Touch Latch Each piece is individually crafted and is unique. CONDITION DETAILS Overall, this piece is in excellent vintage condition and presents beautifully. The front copper cladding shows scattered minor surface scratches and small shallow dents along the faceted panels, consistent with age and gentle handling; these are cosmetic in nature and most noticeable upon close inspection. There is some light, naturally occurring verdigris (green patina) along the lower portion of the copper doors, consistent with the aging of copper and adding to its character. One interior shelf has a minor surface scratch. The top has a few very subtle surface imperfections and light scratches consistent with normal age and use, which are difficult to notice and do not detract from the overall appearance or functionality of the piece. Additionally, the center-right door opens slightly harder unless the right door is opened first, though it still functions normally. If you are interested, message me to make an offer.
