Hand-wrought from copper, the piece features a rich patina with a hammered surface, bringing depth and texture to its design. The stylized leaf and coil motif, a recurring element in Rebajes’ work, reflects both his inspiration from natural forms and his embrace of mid-century modern aesthetics. The piece is marked on the front with Rebajes’ signature and retains hardware on the back, allowing for easy wall display.

Designed with versatility in mind, this charger could be displayed as wall art, used as a decorative centerpiece, or enjoyed as a tray. Rebajes, a Dominican immigrant who rose to prominence in New York during the mid-20th century, became known for transforming humble copper into elegant, sculptural objects. His works were exhibited at institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, solidifying his legacy as one of the leading modernist metal artists of his era.
