- Lot Description
Found object assemblage sculpture by Sonny Dalton, constructed from a vintage Cutler-Hammer safety switch housing and an intricate arrangement of repurposed metal components, gauges, levers, tubing, knobs, fittings, and brass elements. The work presents as a highly detailed industrial machine-form figure, mounted on a circular brass-toned base and featuring a prominent “KEEP THE QUALITY UP” plaque, original Cutler-Hammer safety switch label, and visible catalog markings to the interior. A small applied plaque appears signed “Sonny” with copyright mark and “Dalton.” The piece has a strong steampunk, industrial folk-art, and modern assemblage character, with intentional surface wear, oxidation, soldered joints, scratches, patina, and signs of age throughout, consistent with its found-object construction. An imaginative and visually engaging sculptural work suitable for collectors of modern assemblage, outsider art, industrial sculpture, steampunk design, or mechanical folk art. Approx. dimensions (in): 14.25 x 8.25 x 7.25.
