About the Item
An evocative and rare decorative object, this 1920s tôle palm tree sculpture brings an exotic and whimsical flair to any interior. The piece features finely hand-cut and painted metal fronds that arc with a natural, timeworn patina, reflecting its nearly century-old origins. The trunk is crafted with a sculptural rhythm that mimics the texture of real palm bark, and the entire tree is anchored in a substantial carved wood base that reads as both rustic and sculptural. Likely French or Italian in origin, this piece embodies the decorative arts traditions of early 20th-century Europe, where tropical motifs were favored in conservatory and salon décor. Perfect as a statement piece in a sunroom, entryway, or layered maximalist space, this antique tole palm adds both charm and dramatic vertical interest. A true conversation piece.
If you choose the palm could be placed in a decorative container.
