Curtis Jere revived

Curtis Jere Eagles in Flight in our shop

For awhile now wall sculptures by the company Curtis Jere have had a real comeback.  Produced in the 1960's, they fell out of vogue for years, until a few years ago. There are even cheap copies in Walmart.  The difference is definitely glaring. 

My favorites and the most popular in our area are the boats, schools of fish, and birds in flight.

  I just sent photos out  to a customer who wanted one to hang over a bed to hide a crack in the wall.


Their trees are classic and I dream of their eye lash mirrors, rain drop mirrors, and Lewis' favorite those that look like squared off portholes.

 As well as doing wall art they produced Bronze table art and tall floor art, even Lamps.  Their pieces are signed.

The dock scenes and city scenes don't seem to be as popular.  They are more fragile.
