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.

PROVENANCE
Features the original “Windsor Mode Styled by Illinois Mldg. Co.” stamp on the reverse. The lithograph is marked “Robert Stein & Co., Chicago, IL, Litho in USA” at the lower right , with a small RS&CO stamp at the lower left.

HARDWARE
Retains its original vintage braided hanging wire. Due to the large scale and weight of the glass and mirrored frame, professional installation or heavy-duty wall anchors are recommended.

CONDITION
Lithograph: Excellent vintage condition. Colors remain vibrant and crisp, with no visible water damage or significant fading.

Frame/Mirrors: Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. The mirrored panels retain a beautiful vintage luster. There is a small, stable chip on the right-hand mirrored panel, visible in detail photos. This minor flaw is consistent with age and does not detract from the overall presentation. Original backing shows expected wear consistent with vintage construction.
