Monumental Aluminum Novelty Cutlery Wall Sculptures by Curtis Jere, 1960/70s.

A striking and playful set of oversized novelty cutlery wall sculptures, comprising a spoon, fork, and knife, each measuring an impressive 120 cm in length. Executed in aluminum metal with a sculptural, hand-worked feel, this set is most likely attributed to Curtis Jere, whose work is celebrated for bold scale, industrial materials, and mid-century American whimsy.

These pieces blur the line between functional form and wall art, transforming everyday objects into dramatic, conversation-starting sculptures. Whether installed as a trio above a dining table, in a restaurant interior, or as a statement feature in a kitchen or loft space, they bring instant character and humor while remaining firmly rooted in mid-century modern design language.

Dimensions:

Height: 120 cm.

Width – fork: 21 cm.
Width – spoon: 27 cm.
Width – knife:  17 cm.

📌 Condition

Very good vintage condition overall, with light surface marks and age-related wear consistent with period and material. Structurally sound and ready to hang.

🧡 Why It Stands Out

Oversized, playful, and full of mid-century attitude, this set turns an everyday object into bold wall art. The exaggerated scale gives it real presence, while the humour keeps it approachable — a perfect statement for a dining space, kitchen, or creative interior that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
