Product Details

RARE VINTAGE This is the original 1948 first-edition brass Mimosa Seed Pod by the renowned sculptor Oskar J.W. Hansen for Virginia Metalcrafters (VMC). • Provenance: Fully signed and dated "Copyright 1948" on the reverse. Includes the VMC hallmark and Hansen's signature/mark. • The "Hansen" Difference: Early 1948 pieces like this are highly sought after because they still bear the artist's full signature, which was later removed from the molds. • Condition: Beautiful aged patina (unpolished to preserve value). Solid, heavy sand-cast brass with three integral feet. • Model: No. 3-39. • Aesthetic: High-end Mid-Century Modern / Botanical Realism.
