Authentic signed Curtis Jere mixed-metal wall sculpture depicting a whimsical, vertical architectural village with turreted towers, pitched roofs, flags, and small window details. Executed in brass, copper, and steel, the composition rises in a tall, narrow silhouette with layered construction and strong dimensional depth.

The piece features cylindrical tower forms capped with copper roofs, patinated green roof panels, crenellated detailing, and small flag elements that add movement and narrative charm. Hand-worked surface textures and tonal variation across the brass and copper give the sculpture a warm, aged presence typical of Curtis Jere studio works.

Unlike flatter Jere wall panels, this sculpture incorporates fully dimensional architectural elements that project from the wall, creating shadow play and visual interest from multiple angles. The form reads as playful yet sculptural, making it a standout statement piece for mid-century modern, eclectic, or art-forward interiors.

Condition Notes

Overall good vintage condition. Original hand-finished patina with oxidation, spotting, surface wear, and tonal variation consistent with age and artistic intent. Minor bending and irregularities to thin wire and flag elements are consistent with the original design and age. Top point of main tower is bent/curled and could be repaired professionally at minimal cost.

No structural damage observed. Signature is legible. Please review all photographs carefully, as they are part of the description.
