$39.00

Sorry, this item has sold.

Two beautiful and ornate gold colored Syroco wood wall hangings that are shelves. See note below about Syroco and the Syracuae Ornamental Wood Company. The tops of the shelves each have a notch that could be used for a plate to stand on. The bottom pieces are lovely swirls and a flower design in a French Provincial decor.

The pair are stamped for the Syroco and dated 1970 on the backs.

The two vintage shelves that are from the mid century have two hooks on the back of them for hanging. As they are mid century, they have signs of wear consistent with their age and some chipping, but are quite striking on the wall. You can still see the mark from the Syracuse Ornamental Wood Company on the backs.

They each measure 10” long by 8 1/2” wide and are 5 1/2” deep.

In great vintage condition with some light wear consistent with mid century age of these two ornate gold Syroco shelves.

NOTE:
The Syracuse Ornamental Company, known as Syroco, was an American manufacturing company based in Syracuse, New York. They were best known for their molded wood-pulp products that resembled hand-carving.

Founded in Syracuse, New York in 1890 by immigrant Adolph Holstein, the Syracuse Ornamental Company (Syroco) specialized in decorative wood carving, especially for the local residential market. Products included fireplace mantelpieces and other types of interior decoration popular in late Victorian homes. To meet increasing market demand and sales opportunities Holstein developed a material looked and felt like wood but that which could be shaped, allowing multiple pieces to be produced through a molding process. The new product, which combined wood pulp brought from the Adirondacks with flour as a binder and other materials to give it strength, was extruded and then cut to fit compression molds, which had were made from original carvings in real wood.
