Artisan crafted figure of a formal gentleman making a toast.

Plates of steel with detailing and relief, depicting the tuxedo, tail, the labels of his dinner jacket, fine formal shoes, tails, a ruffled shirt, and of course - the glass of champagne,

Fantastic patina and aging to the metal and artisan touches.

And, it is double sided - each side presents a slightly different finish and reflection on the detailing.

20.5" tall, 11" wide. .25 thick.

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...

This is a wonderful, whimsical, Gatsby-esque sculptural bit of decor.

In a bar? In a dressing room? In a powder room? in an entry hall?

And, it is not overdone - while great fun, it is also a very well executed piece of metal craft with subtle finishes and a commanding presence, which elevates it nicely.
