Description

A pair of decorative wall-mounted sculptures depicting stylized high-wheel or penny-farthing bicycles. These pieces are rendered in an industrial aesthetic, frequently associated with mid-century modern artisan metalwork. The set is constructed from wrought metal rods and flat bars with a dark, matte finish. Each bicycle features hand-carved wooden accents for the saddles and pedal blocks. The components are joined with visible weld points, consistent with a rustic handcrafted construction method. The pair consists of one larger bicycle with curved handlebars and one smaller bicycle without handlebars, both featuring characteristic oversized spoked front wheels and small trailing rear wheels. Both items include integrated mounting points for wall display. No maker marks or signatures were observed during inspection. Dimensions: Not provided.
