Large-scale signed Curtis Jere metal wall sculpture depicting an abstract café or streetscape scene with seated figures beneath umbrellas, architectural window forms, and stylized trees. Executed in mixed metals including copper, brass, and steel, with rich natural oxidation and patina throughout.

This is a substantial, dimensional wall piece with strong Brutalist and Mid-Century character—exactly the type of architectural Jere work collectors look for. The layered construction, wire-formed chairs and tables, and rhythmic vertical elements give the sculpture real depth and movement when viewed on the wall.

Dimensions (approx):
Width - 48"
Height - 22"
Depth - 6"

The hand-applied patina has aged beautifully and reads warm and sculptural rather than decorative. This is not a lightweight décor piece—it has presence.

Condition Notes

Overall good vintage condition. Expected oxidation, surface wear, and patina consistent with age and original intent. No structural breaks observed. Signature is legible. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. See less
