Set sail into mid-century elegance with this striking Vintage 1970s Brass Sailboat Sculpture, signed by the iconic metalwork studio Curtis Jere. Crafted in the golden era of American decorative arts, this piece brings sculptural drama and vintage flair to any wall or display space.
 
Founded in 1963 by Jerry Fels and Curtis Freiler, Curtis Jere (also styled “C. Jeré”) was born with the ambition to deliver “gallery-quality art for the masses.” Their works—hand-cut, crimped, torched brass, copper and steel—have become highly collectible. 
 
This sailboat sculpture captures their craft at its best: bold yet refined, material-rich, and timeless. The brass finish glows with warmth, the three-dimensional form invites light and shadow, and the signature mark confirms authenticity.
 
The Curtis Jere Story
Jerry Fels served as head of design and Curtis Freiler led production at Artisan House, the studio behind Curtis Jere. Their signature merged their first names - Curtis and Jeré - and the brand quickly gained notoriety in high-end retail showrooms like Raymor and Gump’s. Through their metal sculptures, they bridged fine art and decorative design in a way that now resonates powerfully in the vintage-collector market.
 
Elevate your space with this sculptural gem - a perfect blend of mid-century design, nautical charm, and timeless materials. Whether you hang it above your bar cart or integrate it into a curated gallery wall, this Curtis Jere sailboat sculpture invites intrigue, luxury, and depth.
