Metal Wall Sculpture


Have always been interested in traditional ornamental metal art, created this Metal Wall Art panel about 2 years ago. Has a nice flowing leaf design connected by four small points of contact to the rectangular frame, gives it an almost free standing view. A unique finish of antique black, with an underlayment of yellow, give this one some pop. The frame is 1/2 inch angle iron, 1/8 inch thick, the ornamental leaves and scrolls are also created from 1/8 flat and round iron materials. Looks good against a light colored background, also can be mounted in a horizontal position.

Rustic Metal Wall Art


A Rustic Metal Wall Art panel featured above, created from a 3/8 wooden panel, and some recycled metal material. Titled " Decorative Shutter " for the likeness of an old shutter you might see on an exterior of a house. The brass hinges on the right have a rich green patina produced from a heavy oxidation process, adds a nice highlight of color to the piece. The center design is a floral ornament made up of leaves and scrolls, has an aged iron finish which gives a little texture on the surface.
