Copper, Chrome, Brass and Wooden Sailing Boat Sculpture
Art Deco Mixed Metal and Wood Sailboat Sculpture
A striking Art Deco sailboat sculpture handcrafted from chrome, brass, copper, and beautifully varnished wood. Combining the romance of sailing with the fascination for modern materials and streamlined design, this unusual piece has a strong decorative presence from every angle.
The tall chrome sails have a brilliant, mirror like surface that reflects the surrounding room and changes with the light. Brass and copper details define the mast, rigging, rails, and fittings, while carefully polished rivets give the wooden hull a distinctly modern, machine age character.
The craftsmanship is especially evident in the small details, from the delicate twisted metal rigging and raised fittings to the copper flag that appears to wave from the top of the mast. The warm tones of the varnished wooden base create a beautiful contrast with the cool chrome sails and polished metal accents.
Clearly made by hand, this decorative sailboat balances individual craftsmanship with the sleek glamour associated with Art Deco design. It would make an impressive focal point on a mantel, console, desk, or tabletop and would be especially appealing to collectors of nautical objects and Machine Age decorative arts.
As Katherine Hepburn might say " My she is yar !" . And what might that mean? Well, "Easy to handle, quick to th helm, fast and bright"
