Works from an Important Commission

This lot is from an extensive private collection commissioned directly from T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings. The family began working with the artist in 1969 ordering this large collection, which includes both rare works as well as three custom furniture designs produced by Saridis of Athens. A tragic fire in 1978 destroyed the collection and it was re-ordered in its entirety that same year, including the custom designs.


Robjsohn-Gibbings studied the furniture of classical Greece extensively and his knowledge of ancient art is apparent in his designs for Saridis of Athens. This drawing is from an amphora dating from the 5th century B.C.
