Tiki Carver at Work

“Tiki Carver at Work” color scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory by Robert Sickles. Rare work by Sickles created in 1984 from the collection of a client who is no longer with us. Sickles was influenced by the late Kelly Mulford as can be seen in this masterful work. Mulford was generous with his time and advice and Sickles was a very good student, obviously. Sickles’ work is seldom seen on the open market today as most collectors are loath to part with their prized works by Sickles. Excellent opportunity to add a rare Robert Sickles  to one’s collection at 1984 prices.
