Description

Héctor Dávila Hand-Painted Corona Ice Chest on Iron Stand
Hand-painted and signed Héctor Dávila, 2002, this steel ice chest is a rare example of the contemporary Mexican artist’s work expressed through a functional medium. Known for his architectural and cultural motifs in painting, Dávila brings that same visual language to this chest, depicting balconies, lanterns, stone arches, and a cantina storefront. 

Because Dávila is primarily represented through works on paper and canvas, signed utilitarian pieces such as this are seldom seen. The combination of a galvanized interior, removable wrought-iron stand, and hand-painted exterior creates a compelling blend of folk-art storytelling and real-world functionality—ideal for collectors of Mexican art, unique décor, and culturally rooted functional objects.

CONDITION

In good condition and functional - with fading, oxidation, and surface wear from outdoor use. Weathering is visible on both the chest and iron base, though the structure remains sound and the artwork retains strong visual appeal.

Chest only: 17.25" H × 17.5" W × 14.5" D
Overall with stand: 42.5" H × 18" W × 15" D
Shelf height: 17.5"
