The Bill Lewis Kinetic Sculpture, titled “River Egg, ” is a unique one-of-a-kind piece created by artist Bill Lewis in Ohio, USA. This medium-sized sculpture spans 12 inches in length, 20 inches in height, and 25 inches in width, making it a striking presence in any art collection. Handmade with a combination of wood and copper, this abstract artwork features a kinetic design that reflects the artist’s signature style. Signed by Bill Lewis, this original piece is a true representation of contemporary art, perfect for art enthusiasts seeking a handcrafted, industrial-themed sculpture crafted in the United States. I chose to write all the other descriptions however, this one above I allow AI to do it. I just wanna be me not very educated. I don’t have a vast vocabulary. I’m not a writer as you can see in my other listings. However, everything I say, comes from my heart and I mean it. I love what I do and I hope you can see the love in the objects that I make.

Oval piece of pinewood plucked out of the Ohio river as is. I allowed it to dry and cure for approximately one year and then I scraped off only what could be easily scraped off and then what is remaining is what you see. It is stained with homemade natural, black walnut stain With three coats of polyurethane. Half inch hole drilled in the bottom 12 inch piece of copper pipe installed the base is made out of a piece of floor joist from a house that was built in 1889 in Steubenville, Ohio. Beautiful piece family owned for two years.

RARE EARLY-MID 19TH CENTURY AME RI CAN ANTIQUE FOLK ART HAND CARVED, HAND. PAINTED KINETIC WOODEN DOWEL HINGED. WOOD DOLL, WITHOUT ORIGINAL. 19th century Ame ri can antique hand carved & paint decorated hinged wooden figurative dolls. 12″ Height x 2 ½” Width x 2 ¾ Depth. Absolutely untouched and undisturbed overall antique condition and recently discovered in a New England estate. It remains in wonderfully well-preserved overall condition, without its original fabric period clothing but with its painted head and painted upper shoulders and neck, largely unscathed and completely intact. All wooden limbs and wood pin hinged legs and arms are fully working, intact and present. The original paint of the doll showcases the anticipated, traditional mid-19th century Victorian female hair style and neckline, where her linen blouse would have began, just where the white paint is seen ending on her upper chest. Her hair is cleanly parted down the middle and the two sides hide her ears, in the traditional, modest and still largely Puritan sensibility toward the sublimation of a woman’s natural beauty, where ears were regarded as too erotic and sexual to show and reveal. Hands and feet are sublimated to the larger forms of arms and legs. Blue and red paint are used for the lips and eyes. The wood has a naturally aged, dry finish and the enamel paint is largely intact, free of flaking or diminishment that the harmful effects of sunlight, heat or cold regularly cause such old and antique painted wooden items. Simply extraordinary and an exquisite and magnificent example of mid-19th century Ame ri can hand carved and hand painted figurative wooden folk art. Very Good to Excellent overall antique condition.
