Modern Iron Cactus Sculpture with Redwood Base

About the Item

A striking example of California mid-century modern design, this abstract iron sculpture features a series of upright, forked rods rising organically from a richly grained, sculpted wood base. The iron forms—evocative of stylized trees or cacti—create a dynamic vertical rhythm that contrasts beautifully with the horizontal warmth of the wood. Each pronged element is hand-forged, showcasing subtle imperfections and a dark patina that speaks to its artisanal origins. The redwood base was brazed showcasing undulating natural edges, adds an earthy elegance and grounds the minimalist composition. This piece functions equally well as tabletop art or as a sculptural focal point in a modern interior. Unsigned, but unmistakably crafted with the refined material sensibility and abstract ethos of the 1950s–60s California Craft studio movement. Shipping from Orange, California.
