His work seems to crop up in many of the midcentury style books. I've seen a few of his pieces on ebay.co.uk recently.

Thanks for asking this good question. I have the same thought from time to time. The first MCM book I ever got was RETRO MODERN and there are quite a few in there ... some really tall ones as well. There's doesn't ever seem to be info on them ... as you say.

The sculpture on the desk is almost certainly by Brian Willsher (if not its a copy) They actually date from the late 60s onwards (he's still working, although old). Andrew Weaving, who wrote Retro Modern, has a gallery in Marylebone London which sells Willsher's work.

Llama! Llama!
Bring back the llama!

Cat? Llama?

Yes, nice desk. And, above all else, the sculpture on it turns me on.
