The listing

MCM Metal Sculpture Human in Flying Machine Plane Ship Tricycle C. Jere-inspired, wall hanging, $1295 Is it a plane, a ship, a glider or a hybrid? Awesome detail of human navigating a fantastical flying machine contraption through time and space ... Whimsical, imaginative and fun, modern yet retro, brutalist steampunk art. Mid century modern vibe. Has the basic shape of a vintage airplane with propeller but with additional gliders attached and a coil that resembles the rudder of a steamship. The curled coil easily vibrates with the slightest movement, air breeze or touch. The bottom tricycle wheels can turn, curled coil representing the ships rudder moves with air currents and the "weather vane antenna" can turn. It bears some resemblance to a piece of art titled, "The Flying Machine." The positioning of the pilot bears resemblance to the "1911 Curtiss Pusher Aircraft" or represents an evolution of aircraft and flying. Use your imagination to fly around the world in 80 days. Made of thin sheets of worked metal, copper in color and various steampunk with numerous intricate gadgets and gears. The more you look ... the more you notice. No signature but this piece is similar to work of C. Jere. Overall condition is very good. No rust with an amazing vintage patina. Appears to be over 98% intact with maybe a few pieces loose or missing. Appears to be unique and unable to find another one like this online. Large piece measures about 29" height x 42" long x 6" depth ** Email for info on other items but include your contact info. tags: aeronautics airplane pilot buff collector high-end architectural decor someone who has everything valentine's valentines mother's mothers father's fathers day birthday gift gifts arte.
