The creation of the Park Place table in 1975 began the collection of tables and chairs now known as the Wedding Gift series. Made by hand in his Brooklyn studio, Myers did not make these in a numbered edition, but rather considers each a unique work. The entire Wedding Gift series is comprised of five tables and approximately fifteen chairs; of these there are two Park Place tables and eight Mainliner chairs.
Signed with impressed signature to side: [FM].
