Description
Benin Wood Table. This "western-style" table features carvings in relief on its top, legs, and supports. The carvings depict a royal court scene, with attendants paying homage to the Oba (Head of State). Measures approximately 22 1/2" x 30" x 17". Has a crack in the middle of the table extending from the left to right edges. This item originates from the estate of John A. Williams, a distinguished philanthropist and renowned collector. Mr. Williams and his partner Dewitt Hart were influential members of San Francisco's art society and were celebrated for their discerning taste in modern, ethnographic, and fine art. Over the years, they hosted numerous exhibitions in their home, showcasing their prestigious collection to appreciative audiences. All proceeds of items from this estate benefit the Hart Williams Rainbow Fund, a nonprofit working with the LGBTQIA+ community in the San Francisco Bay Area.
