Maker | Robert Cumpston (1930-2018)
Origin | United States, late 20th century
Marks | Signed in raised welded cursive along the back leg
Condition | Excellent vintage condition with natural oxidation and patina
A signed welded metal llama sculpture by Robert Cumpston, a farmer-turned-artist known for transforming old farm equipment and scrap steel, blending rural American folk tradition with industrial sculpture.
The body is constructed from solid steel, with heavy chain draped to suggest fleece, giving the piece real weight and texture. The surface shows natural rust tones with areas of green oxidation along the chain, adding depth without feeling overly polished.
It’s a wonderful statement piece and works easily in industrial, brutalist, ranch, or mixed eclectic spaces.
Acquired from a Chicago, Illinois estate.
Surface oxidation and patina throughout, consistent with the artist’s intended aesthetic and age. No structural instability noted. Welds remain intact and secure. Surface wear appropriate to material and vintage character. Signature remains legible and clearly defined.
Approximate dimensions:
Length: ~6.5 inches
Width: ~4.25 inches
Height: ~11 inches
Weight: 9 lbs 14 oz
