About the Item
Rare and beautifully executed, this copper dish with a central relief featuring a shirtless young blacksmith forging a piece of wrought iron, is teeming with symbols of modernity made from iron or steel: an airplane, oil derrick, automobile, and industrial gears on one side, and a man shoeing a horse on the other. Entitled "Le Fer" or "Iron," this piece was made in France to celebrate the full range of products made from this material, though ironically this dish has a rich, coppery finish. The detail of the relief suggests that this piece was struck, like a coin or medal, not cast.
