Executed in Jeré’s iconic mixed-metal style, the piece beautifully captures movement and whimsy through layered brass-tone butterflies, sculptural wire antennae, and richly saturated enamel wings. The warm palette makes it especially striking against white plaster, walnut paneling, terrazzo, or stone walls.

This rare 1960s example has the bold sculptural presence collectors seek in
Curtis Jeré / Artisan House works, while the butterfly motif offers a more playful, nature-inspired expression than his more common flock and seagull forms.

An ideal statement for a mid-century modern entry, lounge, atrium, powder bath, or designer gallery wall.

Curtis Jeré pieces from 1967 were produced by Artisan House in California, during the company’s original and most collectible period. The founders, Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels, launched Artisan House in the early 1960s in Los Angeles, and the classic mixed-metal and enameled works from the 1960s–70s are considered American mid-century studio production.
