Enhance your outdoor patio, garden, or modern living space with this striking Mid-Century Modern tubular wind chime. Heavily designed in the distinct manner of architect and designer Walter Lamb, this piece features five heavy-walled bronze (or copper) pipes that have developed an exceptional, naturally weathered dark verdigris patina over the decades.
Suspended from its original tiered frame, the central clapper drops down to a highly unique, solid cast-metal hummingbird-shaped pendant. Serving as the wind catcher, the stylized hummingbird profile perfectly captures the brutalist and organic sculpture trends of 1950s and 1960s California modern design. Unlike standard modern aluminum alternatives, these thick vintage bronze tubes produce an incredibly resonant, deep, and peaceful bell-like tone reminiscent of church bells.
A beautiful, functional work of kinetic art that is ready to hang and enjoy. Details & Dimensions Creator / Style: In the Style of Walter Lamb Period: 1960s Place of Origin: United States Materials: Patinated Bronze/Copper, Metal Chain.
Condition: Very good vintage condition. Exhibits a rich, authentic oxidized patina and weathering consistent with age and outdoor use. Structurally sound with all tubes safely suspended.
Dimensions: Total hanging length of 27 inches (from the top hanging ring to the tip of the hummingbird pendant).

The five heavy bronze/copper tubes feature a natural, heavy verdigris oxidation and weathered dark patina from decades of outdoor display. There is minor surface pitting and typical environmental wear expected with 1960s garden ornaments. The hanging cords and structural tiers remain fully intact and strong. The central clapper and the cast metal hummingbird sail function flawlessly, moving smoothly in the breeze to produce a clear, deep resonance. Free of any cracks, major bends, or structural damage. less
