EDITORS COMMENTS
This handmade soldering iron, created by American artist Harvey Thoss in 1939, is a captivating example of functional art from the 20th century. The intricately detailed watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil rendering on paperboard showcases Thoss's mastery of both art and craftsmanship. During the 1930s and 1940s, Thoss gained recognition for his decorative arts designs, which often combined traditional techniques with modern sensibilities. This soldering iron, with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to his innovative approach. The iron's body is depicted in rich, earthy tones, evoking the warmth and texture of the metal. The intricate patterns and designs etched into the iron's surface add visual interest, while the delicate rendering of the wooden handle adds a sense of organic charm. Thoss's handmade soldering iron is not only a functional tool but also a work of art. It is a reminder of a time when craftsmanship and creativity were highly valued, and where art could be found in the most unexpected places. This unique piece is now part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Whether you are a collector of American art, a historian of the decorative arts, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of functional objects, this handmade soldering iron by Harvey Thoss is a must-see addition to any collection.
