SOLD Trio of Scrap Metal and Wire Folk Art Rocking Chairs ink spatter painting with the introduction by HesseA pretty fabulous trio of rockers looking rather Calder esque to me, and seeming poised to accommodate a family of miniature humans: small, medium, and large. Soldered together of scraps of sheet metal and bent wire, with a definite attentiveness to modernist aesthetics. I especially love the bent wire back of the mid size rocker, looking like a paper clip labyrinth. Like three dimensional line drawings. Largest: 4 1 2" t x 3 3 4" d. Mid: 3 5 8" t.
