Avid collectors of 1950s sculpture, table lamps and decor have no doubt encountered the quirky mid-century modern creations of Frederic Weinberg, even if they didn’t know his name. Weinberg, a Philadelphia-based artist and industrial designer, trained at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. Throughout the 1950s, working with wire, iron and gilded bronze, Weinberg designed, produced and sold a wide variety of functional and decorative items under his company, Frederic Weinberg Co. Best known for his extensive range of wall-mounted sculptures, clocks, lighting and semi-abstract paintings that bring playful figurative art into the home, he also made figurative wall sculptures depicting everything from ancient Roman gladiators and Etruscan-style horses to musicians and dancers to fencers and football players. Figuration featured heavily in his bent iron, brass and fiberglass sculptures, many of which he based on his semi-abstract paintings. Although little is known about Weinberg’s design career, his pieces are highly sought by modern art collectors and interior designers. This cool and funky rectangular iron mirror, with its minimalist figures and animals design, will complement most any contemporary to transitional décor. Done entirely in black matte paint, this handsome piece measures 31½” x 24½” x 1¾” H/W/D; mirror alone measures 17¾” x 11¾” H/W; weight 15 lbs. Two iron bars are welded to the back that support and balance the weight of the iron and glass; two “keyhole” on the upper bar allow for immediate hanging; unmarked. In excellent condition with minimal age -appropriate wear. There is one minuscule surface, fine line scratch which is so indiscernible I could not capture it in a photo (see photo 11). A fabulous conversation piece that will give any slender feature wall in your space a pop of style.
Thanks for looking! less
