Early 20th century American building copper panels
A rare and magnificent piece of American architectural
history. In the style of art deco this matched pair of early 20th
century copper building panels are both highly decorative and a real statement piece
of interior design. Hand crafted from section piece of copper sheets. These
iconic objects would look amazing displayed either side of a hallway entrance.
They would have been part of a large collection at some point, secured to the
outside of a large building, likely a bank or government establishment, displaying
power, strength and grandeur. These rare items have been uncovered from a
collector in Paris who frequently travelled to New York in the 80s to uncover
antiques and unusual objects.
