AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Decorative ornament depicting an airplane, handcrafted through a complex structure of bent and assembled metal wires and rods.
The construction is particularly elaborate: fuselage, wings, empennage, landing gear, and wheels are obtained through numerous individually machined metal elements connected by wire windings. The brown-toned bindings create an interesting contrast with the argent metal and visually emphasize the different elements of the structure.
The model features an open, three-dimensional framework that allows observation of the workmanship from every angle. The shape recalls the early aircraft of aviation, with large wing surfaces, an essential structure, and a multi-wheel landing gear.
An unusual decorative object, especially suitable for industrial-style environments, lofts, studios, offices, or collections dedicated to aviation and handmade metal objects.
The piece shows patina, surface oxidation, small stains and signs of time and use, clearly visible in the photographs. These elements have not been removed or masked.
