About the Item

This striking Art Deco cast iron panel is a recast of an original design by Heinrich Moshage, a renowned artist known for his industrial-inspired works. The panel captures the dynamic energy of two ironworkers pouring molten iron into a mold, their synchronized movements embodying the strength and precision of foundry work. Part of Moshage’s celebrated six-panel series Zur Arbeit ("To Work"), the original panels depicted pairs of men engaged in various foundry tasks, highlighting the dignity of labor during the industrial era. Though a reproduction, this panel faithfully preserves the intricate details and stylistic charm of the original. The crisp lines and bold relief emphasize the muscular forms of the figures, while the Art Deco aesthetic lends a timeless sophistication. Perfect for industrial-inspired interiors or as a standalone statement piece, this panel celebrates both the artistry of Moshage’s design and the enduring legacy of human craftsmanship.
