Featuring one of our favorite Californian modernist stone sculptures by Big Surs's local artist, James Hunolt, circa 1970s. This specific design known as "Reclining Lovers" is sculpted from white limestone and part of Hunolt's "Lovers" theme inspired by French sculptor Auguste Rodin’s "The Kiss". An erotic embrace emphasizing an equally spiritual bond as shown by the figures laying while hugging each other passionately. Supported by its walnut base to showcase them for a minimalist aesthetic, adding a striking view from all angles. This unique Californian work of art would make the ideal addition to any collector's modern art. Signed with James Hunolt initials "JH" underneath its walnut base.

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.
Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.
New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.
Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps, the marks that prove the piece lived.
