Artisan Crafted Sunny Coat and Key Holder, "Curious Sun"
Radiant though somewhat shy, a young sun rises over the horizon that is this unique coat rack. Designed by J. Blas, the sun's face is remarkably expressive and vividly detailed. To create this piece, Blas cuts the iron pieces with a unique procedure all his own. When the pieces are forged and welded together, they are rinsed in an acidic bath. Finally, Blas paints the rack by hand with enamels and acrylics to enhance the delicate artistry.

"I love this "sunny" key holder"
What a great key holder! I don't think it's strong enough to hold coats but it sure does hold lots of keys. Makes me smile every time I see it. Nicely made.

"Impressive"
I need something to fill an empty spot above an antique piece for my bedroom - fit in perfectly with all my other nature artwork (house is in the woods - so a lot of wildlife around). Piece is even prettier in person than picture, my husband was even impressed.

"A bit disappointed"
When this arrived, it was very dull in color. I was very shocked by this. I did spray it with a clear coat, and that brightened it up a bit, but still pretty dull. wish it was super bright like in the photo.

This is a beautiful addition to a flock of metal butterflies. We will add a mate in the near future.
