Currey and Company Sam the Mutt Natural Terracotta Sculpture

Currey and Company Sam the Mutt Natural Terracotta Sculpture

Whimsical in terracotta, Sam the Mutt is a sculpture by the emerging Thai artist Nhut Nhathawut. With an expression that is so lifelike that it feels he may bark at any moment, there are a number of artisanal aspects to the canine sculpture. This includes the obvious strokes of the artist's tools that play along the surface of the dog's body. Brownlee Currey had some fun with this mixed-breed, describing his reality as, 'There may be some bulldog in there, but Sam's mental and physical acuity is more akin to a potato than a sporting breed.'

Currey & Company, known today for its vibrant collection of lighting products, started its existence in 1988 as a purveyor of historic garden furnishings. When Robert B. Currey founded Garden Source Furnishings, the main focus of the company was the creation and marketing of classic garden furniture from the Winterthur Museum and the Smithsonian Institution. These collections were joined by a very American collection of garden whimsies, birdhouses and rustic twig furniture. Some lighting products were among these first offerings and by the early 1990?s the lighting category had become very important. Accordingly, the name of the company was changed to Currey & Company to embrace a new focus on products for the interior. Chandeliers and wall sconces today form a significant part of the company?s business and these goods are characterized by the attention and detailing that goes into their manufacturing and finishing. Currey & Company brings to the marketplace merchandise that not only speaks of the touch of the human hand, but also utilizes a myriad of natural materials. Hand forged iron products have long been the specialty of the company, but the range of materials has been extended to include a variety of materials such as hand-carved wood, porcelain and brass. ?Currey International? has made it possible for the company to develop and produce a variety of unique hand made products and materials. One of these is concrete hand formed to create fashionable furnishings of ?faux bois.? Seashells and other natural materials also figure strongly in the Currey & Company product line.
