Vintage Laminated Wood + Applied Illustration on Paper Candleholder Trio by Janet Gasson, a Set, Circa 1980s. Constructed from two-tone laminated wood with top-applied original pen & ink paper illustrations on front and back. The tallest form features a reclining nude at the center of an ionic column form with a cat visible only on the reverse. The two smaller candleholders feature winged cherubs atop clouds at the center of trumpeted column forms, one with a bow + arrow and the other with a horn. Silver paint was also applied to add texture and depth. Signed on the underside base of each “Janet Gasson.”
Condition: Good vintage condition. The applied paper illustration shows signs of wear and loss in some areas, mainly concentrated to the back side of the cherub with bow. The cherub with horn form has some burns to the candle well, but does not affect the function. Two small areas of loss to edges of laminated wood as photographed.
