Candle Stand c. 1938

Rex F. Bush's "Candle Stand" (c. 1938) is a detailed watercolor rendering of a simple, elegant table. The piece showcases Bush's skill as a furniture designer, capturing the intricate details of the table's construction, including the curved, turned legs and the slightly scalloped tabletop. This design drawing exemplifies the clean lines and craftsmanship associated with American furniture design in the mid-20th century. The artwork is a testament to Bush's ability to translate functional objects into beautiful and timeless works of art.
