Harry King, a master craftsman of his time, left an indelible mark on the world with his exquisite creations. Born in the cradle of creativity in 1940, Harry's talent knew no bounds. His hands breathed life into every piece he touched, leaving behind a legacy that continues to awe and inspire. One such masterpiece is the Whale Oil Lamp Filler from 1939. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it illuminates not just rooms but also our imagination. Its elegant design transports us back to a bygone era when simplicity met sophistication. In 1941, Harry unveiled his Walnut Wash Stand - a true embodiment of timeless beauty and functionality. With its rich wood grain and intricate carvings, it became an essential piece for any discerning homeowner seeking both style and practicality. The Walnut Desk and Bookcase from the same year showcased Harry's versatility as an artist. This stunning creation seamlessly blended form and function, providing ample storage while exuding elegance through its refined craftsmanship. But perhaps one of Harry's most captivating works was the Cigar Store Indian from 1941. Carved with utmost precision, this majestic figure stood tall as a symbol of heritage and tradition. It served as a reminder of America's diverse cultural tapestry while capturing imaginations with its lifelike presence. Harry didn't limit himself to earthly creatures; he ventured into the wild realm too. The Bobcat sculpture from 1935/1942 captured the feline grace in all its glory – frozen forever in wood yet radiating untamed energy. Another mesmerizing creation was Head of a Leopard – meticulously carved between 1935-1942 – which immortalized nature's fierce beauty within wooden confines. Its piercing gaze seemed to follow you wherever you went, evoking both admiration and awe. Wood carving was truly Harry's forte; evident in pieces like Scroll (c. 1939) where intricate patterns danced across the surface, showcasing his mastery of this ancient art form.
