Rare 1950s Wire Shadow Box Figure Ship Scene Mid Century Wall Art Sculpture

About the Item

Extremely rare shadow box wall art from the 1950's. Reminiscent of the work of Laurids Lonborg and Richard Galef, but probably Austrian. We had a trio of these many years ago but haven't encountered any others since. This has a fabulous asymmetrical shape and depicts a native awaiting the arrival of the Spanish explorers. It is already painted and shown in detail. Here and there some wear to the paintwork, but nothing serious. This is a truly quirky piece of wall art for the mid-century home, loft, or office.
