Monumental Mid-Century Modern Wall Sculpture Attributed to John Reisetter

About the Item

Monumental Mid-Century Modern Abstract Wall sculpture attributed to John Reisetter . Reisetter was one of the known sculptors who worked for The famous Curtis Jere Artisan House run by Jerry Fells and Curtis Freiler. This free form atomic custom made sculpture was designed for the set of The Original Star Trek TV Series between 1966-1969. One of John Reisetters pieces can be seen in Season one episode 15 "The Menagerie-Part 1. He signed his pieces with a capitol "R". However we cannot find his signature on this piece but the owners say it is his work and the provenance dates back to California when it was purchased in 1975 for $1500. The piece is made of solid brass but has a patina on it. The spikes extending from it are made of iron and they hold many pieces of blue glass. There are ample welded structures on the back to hang this pieces easily. It is a stunning piece of art and would complete any Palm Springs Mid Mod Home.

Bellamy Style Hand-Carved New England Pine Eagle, Early to Mid-20th Century
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is an original American eagle, hand-carved from pine during the early to mid 20th century. The eagle features a touch of original gilt over yellow sizing with hand-painted highlights, emphasizing the eyes and beak. The eagle is displayed with both wings fully outstretched. The feathers are expertly detailed, especially considering that this eagle is a single-piece carving. The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent. On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States depicting a bald eagle grasping 13 arrows in its sinister (left) talon and an olive branch with its dexter (right) talons. Those arrows are tightly aligned, a symbol of "strength in unity" that's found in the traditional cultures everywhere, from the Romans to the Iroquois. In this case, the bundle of arrows were a nod to the unity of the original 13 colonies. The olive branches emphasize the power of peace. The eagle motif has since appeared in allegorical engravings...
