Capture the essence of 1950s tropical kitsch with this stunning large-scale flamingo lithograph. Published by Robert Stein & Co. of Chicago, this iconic scene features vibrant pink flamingos nestled among Spanish moss and lush foliage. The artwork is housed in its original high-style “Windsor Mode” mirrored frame, manufactured by the renowned Illinois Moulding Co.
Chicago was the epicenter of mid-century wall decor, and this piece represents the premium craftsmanship of that era. Unlike common later reproductions, this is a verified original, complete with authentic manufacturer’s markings on both the front lithograph and the reverse backing.
This piece represents a classic collaboration of the era, pairing a Robert Stein & Co. lithograph with a Windsor Mode mirrored frame by Illinois Moulding Co. The frame features distinctive diamond-pattern lattice side panels over mirrored inserts, creating a desirable shadowbox effect against the wall. This premium overmantel-size piece makes a dramatic statement above a fireplace, sofa, or console and remains a striking crossover collectible for admirers of mid-century modern, Hollywood Regency, tropical, and flamingo decor.

Frame/Mirrors: Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. The mirrored panels retain a beautiful vintage luster.
