About the Item
Striking and rare, this glinting charger featuring a penguin standing atop an Art Deco ledge is composed of a silvery aluminum finished in a subtly iridescent glaze. This piece, along with an array of chargers and bowls in the same series, was molded in an enormous hydraulic press by the Sterling Bronze company for Oscar Bach in the 1930s. The artist was, along with Samuel Yellin, one of America's premier metalworkers in the 1920s and 1930s. He crafted enormous metal sculptures designed by Hildreth Meière for Radio City Music Hall, as well as countless sculptures, lighting fixtures and furniture for wealthy homeowners and institutions across America. He also crafted a line of very fine tabletop decorative items, usually composed of bronze or silvered metal. The piece is handsomely marked on the reverse.
