Add a striking statement to your space with this extremely rare matched pair of vintage boat sculptures by the Alexander Backer Company (ABCO) of New York. These iconic pieces were handcrafted in the USA between the 1930s and 1960s and feature a beautiful stylized design of boats riding sculpted waves – a signature of ABCO’s bold, mid-century nautical aesthetic. Both sculptures are made of hand-painted plaster or chalkware and display wonderfully with gentle curves and intricate detail. These pieces are in great condition with minor chips. Each retains its original felt base and ABCO label, certifying authenticity. Perfect for collectors of mid-century modern decor, nautical art, or rare chalkware pieces, this is a true find – especially as a complete matched set.
