This unbelievable find takes Americana to a whole new level!

A remarkable work of art by the renowned artist, Robert Beaven, this chair commemorates Independence Day of the year 2000. The Adirondack-style chair incorporates all kinds of cool mediums, from antlers to copper and turquoise to metal. The back features a unique mosaic of a bald eagle against ribbons of red, white, and blue and a banner touting “July 4, 2000”. The seat boasts a ribbon emblazoned with “LIBERTY” in a similarly patriotic motif. The whole creation is a very cool and collectible conversation piece that can transform any space.

From the Collection of Robert Beaven:

 Robert Beaven is an accomplished artist and retired Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Cincinnati. A central figure in shaping UC’s sculpture program when the university’s art, architecture, and design departments merged to form DAAP in 1970, Beaven taught for more than three decades while also maintaining an active studio.

The foundation of Bob’s career began in painting and printmaking before evolving into mixed media sculpture and ultimately finely crafted furniture inspired by the Adirondack tradition. His work has been exhibited at the Tangeman Gallery, the Contemporary Arts Center, and Solway Gallery, with one of his early prints held in the esteemed Cincinnati Art Museum’s collection.

Following his retirement, Beaven immersed himself in antiques, folk art, and the natural world, incorporating twigs, sticks, fossils, and other found materials into his sculptural furniture. Together with his wife, Anne, they ran a successful antiques business, building lasting connections with fellow collectors across the country.

This sale reflects the breadth of Beaven’s passions—as both a maker and a collector—offering a rare opportunity to engage with the vision of an artist whose life and work are deeply rooted in curiosity, craftsmanship, and an enduring reverence for art in all its forms.
