A Lucite and Silvered Wood “African” Bench by Karl Springer, New York, c 1970s. A heavy lucite and silvered-wood bench by Karl Springer in the form of  an West African “Ashanti” tribal bench made by Springer in the 1970s.  This bench is in excellent original condition with very little  wear. The silvered wood has turned golden with time as the lacquer has  made it appear pale gold with age. Springer was known to travel  extensively around the world for inspiration often bringing back   antiques and mounting them as decorative objects or incorporating them  into his furniture. This is the Karl Springer interpretation of a West  African tribal seat.
