EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by Louis Annino, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate detail of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. This stunning piece, created by Annino in the 20th century, is a highboy or tallboy chest of drawers, characterized by its tall stature and multiple drawers. The Highboy is a period item, reflecting the ornate and ornamental design trends of the era. The woodcarving and woodworking techniques used in its creation are truly impressive, with intricate patterns and browns hues adorning the carved wood surface. Annino's masterful use of color, through watercolour, coloured pencil, gouache, and graphite on paper, adds depth and dimension to the piece, bringing it to life. The Highboy is a prime example of the rich heritage of American arts and design, and a testament to the skill and creativity of its creator, Louis Annino. This work of art is now part of the Index of American Design, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., USA. The National Gallery of Art is a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and sharing American art and culture, and the inclusion of Annino's Highboy in its collection speaks to its significance and enduring value. The Highboy is not only a beautiful piece of furniture, but also a conceptual work of art, embodying the spirit and aesthetic of its time. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage, and the role that art and design play in shaping our collective history. Whether viewed as a functional piece of furniture or a work of art, the Highboy by Louis Annino is a true masterpiece that continues to inspire and delight.
