Description
A collection of four contemporary industrial folk art sculptures and desk accessories, produced in the style of Steelman24 or Brubaker. Each piece is constructed from polished steel and iron components, including hexagonal nuts, bolts, washers, steel rods, and perforated sheet metal, assembled using visible industrial welding techniques. The collection includes a stylised dancing couple standing beneath an integrated streetlamp on a rectangular base, featuring a heart-motif frame suitable for use as a bottle or stationery holder. Also included is a desk tidy depicting a British-style policeman in a custodian helmet and a crouching figure, separated by a wirework container fashioned as a brick wall. A further sculpture depicts a seated figure constructed primarily from hexagonal nuts and bent rods. The policeman figure features a circular relief emblem on the helmet, though no specific manufacturer names or literal text are legible. The items are characteristic of European industrial metal art.
Condition report:
The items appear in good condition with a bright, polished finish. The visible weld marks and industrial hardware are an intentional part of the aesthetic. There is no significant rust, oxidation, or damage apparent to the metalwork.
