Flat Iron Stand c. 1938

"Flat Iron Stand" is a c. 1938 artwork by American artist Elmer Weise (1855-1995). It is a metalwork piece, possibly wrought iron, that is ornate and decorative. It includes two pieces, one that looks like a stylized flower or plant, the other is a more abstract design with a curved and pointed structure. The piece was likely created to be an artistic functional item used to hold a flat iron, with the stylized piece potentially functioning as the stand. It is unknown where the artwork is currently located, and the original is 8 3/4 inches long and 6 3/4 inches wide. The work is a representation of Art Deco and a focus on design.
