Franklyn Syres: Master Craftsman of Timeless Artistry Step into the world of Franklyn Syres, a creative genius whose craftsmanship has stood the test of time. With each piece he created, whether it be a Tin Candle Sconce or a Lard Oil Lamp, Syres showcased his unparalleled skill and attention to detail. In 1939, Syres unveiled his Pa. German Cake Mold and Carved Pinewood Mold, stunning his ability to transform simple materials into works of art. These molds not only served their practical purpose but also became cherished heirlooms passed down through generations. Syres's talent extended beyond molds and sconces; he was also an accomplished decoy carver. His Decoy from 1940 captures the essence of nature with its lifelike features and meticulous carving technique, and is no wonder that collectors still seek out these rare pieces today. The Toleware Tin Teapot showcases Syres's versatility as an artist. Its intricate design and flawless execution demonstrate his mastery over metalwork, making it both functional and visually captivating. Even in seemingly mundane objects like hinges and door latches, Syres found beauty. His Hinge from 1940 is a testament to his ability to elevate everyday items into works of art that seamlessly blend form with function. One cannot discuss Franklyn Syres without mentioning his Candlestick and Holder from 1941. This elegant piece exudes sophistication while maintaining simplicity—a hallmark trait seen throughout all of Syre's creations. Another example of this can be found in the Pa. German Butter Mold from 1939—a true treasure for any collector or admirer alike. The delicate patterns carved into this mold showcase not only technical expertise but also an appreciation for tradition and heritage. Syre's love for nature shines through in every piece he crafted, evident even in something as small as a Dove figurine from 1940.
