Pair of Early Isamu Noguchi for Knoll Associates Table Lamps c. 1947
Model no. 9.
Noguchi initially created a cylindrical polyvinyl shade wound around three upright mahogany posts as a gift for his sister, Ailes, in the mid-1940s. This would serve as a prototype for Model 9, which was put into production by Knoll Associates soon after (1947). This lamp was designed prior to Isamu Noguchi starting his Akari light sculpture series in 1951.
Cherry, fiberglass-reinforced polyvinyl.

Frederic Mares Deulovol (1893-1991) patinated bronze gazelle doe.
Base signed in the casting: F. Mares; with impressed foundry mark: Fundicion R. Vila / Valls (Tarragona).
Bronze base has been removed for photography and because we feel the doe stands more beautifully in a room without it, though it could be simply placed back on matching bronze base if desired.
This doe comes form a California estate where it was kept outdoors, partially covered. The resulting patina and verdigris is beautiful and reminiscent of a Pat Steir painting. The bronze is beautifully sculpted with incredible, life-like details, from the slight movement of the tail to the deep gaze of the eyes.
