{"product_id":"vintage-folk-art-airplane-pilot-balancing-kinetic-sculpture","title":"Vintage Folk Art Airplane Pilot Balancing Kinetic Sculpture","description":"\u003cp\u003eA captivating vintage folk art kinetic sculpture depicting a stylized airplane with a pilot in flight. Crafted in hand-cut and painted metal, the aircraft features bold decorative details including star motifs and a richly textured painted surface. The pilot, with a flowing red scarf, adds a dynamic sense of motion and narrative to the piece. Mounted on a sculptural iron base with a counterweight mechanism, the airplane gently balances and moves, embodying both playful ingenuity and mid-century craftsmanship. The aged patina and visible handwork enhance its authenticity and charm. Both sculptural and interactive, this piece is a striking example of American folk art and an exceptional decorative accent for collectors of aviation-themed objects, kinetic sculpture, or whimsical design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-height\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 17 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-width\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWidth: 11 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-depth\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDepth: 9 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eStyle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-style\"\u003eFolk Art\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-materials-and-techniques\"\u003eIron, Metal, Hand-Finished, Hand-Painted\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-date-of-manufacture\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-dateOfManufacture\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eMid-20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eCondition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-condition\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-condition\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"_1862016c _57a9be25\" data-tn=\"open-condition-modal\" type=\"button\"\u003eDistressed\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-conditionDetails\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melissa Levinson Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51032098603314,"sku":"MLA1223","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/4321\/6690\/files\/49420182_datamatics.jpg?v=1775068334","url":"https:\/\/melissalevinson.com\/products\/vintage-folk-art-airplane-pilot-balancing-kinetic-sculpture","provider":"Melissa Levinson Antiques ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
