1950s Wooden Sculptures Industrial Foundry for Molded Car Parts, Set of Four

About the Item

Set of four brutalist foundry molds from the Machine Age are a reminder of the nation’s Industrial past, a large factor in shaping the culture of the Modern era. While these pieces would not have traditionally been found in a residence, the types of Industrial forms could have been used in the design of interior furnishings. These geometric shaped foundry molds could potentially be converted into lamps bases, electronic device stands and other furnishings that could reference this era. Antique foundry molds are getting harder and harder to find. They are unique, authentic pieces formed through a number of processes and craftsmanship. Additionally, these pieces could be hung from the walls to serve as pieces of art.

Foundry molds and patterns are wooden tools, carved out or built up to create negative space, which in turn is used to make the inverse form or shape to be used for the casting of metal. To make a wooden mold, wood needs to be stacked up, like a relief, or cut-out, like a sunken relief, with handles or other pieces to grab and pick up the mold from the molding material. Individual pattern pieces that get packed into the molding material are carved and shaped.
