Vintage Maroon Found Object Sculptural Wall Hanging, Melbourne 1940s
Vintage Maroon Found Object Sculptural Wall Hanging, Melbourne 1940s
Unique, original and very aesthetically pleasing. This piece seems to stimulate communication with our primitive minds - it's arresting and absorbing, with totemic, sculptural, spirit/bird vibes, like some kind of mid century owl-deity.
Charles and Ray Eames would have loved this - they were connoisseurs of the artistic value of the found object. This is in fact a very old fibreglass rowing, crew or sculling seat, still attached to its original wooden glides and mounted for wall hanging.
It makes a beautiful and original decorative piece. The colour is rich, deep and warm with plenty of patina and character.
It's in clean condition, with a layer of wax to preserve the rich tone.

CONDITION
Good. As it has been used in a vigorous sport, the seat is worn and scratched but this just adds to the mood. See images. However, it's in clean condition, with a layer of wax to preserve the rich tone.
