Collector's Notes

Handcrafted copper butterflies became a popular decorative art form during the Mid Century Modern era, especially alongside Brutalist interiors. The dramatic torch coloring and free form edges make each example unique because the heat creates one of a kind coloration across the copper.

This vintage sculpture displays beautifully alone or as part of a gallery wall featuring Mid Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, or Brutalist décor.
