We’re thrilled to … more Vintage Signed David P. Skeggs Concaved Walnut Disc with Three-Dimensional Pottery Centerpiece – Rare Mid-Century Art Piece
We’re thrilled to present this extraordinary piece of wall art by David P. Skeggs, a renowned artist from Bath, Ohio. This stunning concave round walnut disc features a beautifully glazed, three-dimensional pottery form in its center, combining organic textures with captivating depth. The piece originates from one of Akron, Ohio’s largest local art collections, recently released following the collector’s passing at the age of 93. Skeggs personally signed this piece on the front, and it’s tagged on the back; however, the title of the work is no longer discernible.
