Exceptional Antique Signed Oscar Bach Judaica Wall Sconces. Signed on back side of each. With a star of David situated on top of a menorah on the plaque of the 2 arm candle holders. Height: 15 inches. Throughout his career Bach filed for a total of 66 patents with the U.S. Patent Office and in 1941 Bach patented the "Bachite" system of construction to render steel corrosion and abrasion proof. 1941 marks the end of his work in the field of decorative arts and the beginning of his career as a metallist for some of America's top industrial firms. From 1941 until his death in 1957 Bach worked as a top consultant for Remington-Rand, Manning, Bowman, Edward Budd, Oneida, Baldwin Locomotive, American Radiator Company, and the Tappan Stove Company. In the months leading up to his death, Bach's largest free-standing sculpture, "The Spirit of Democracy," a 17 foot allegorical figure, was nearing completion and scheduled to be placed at Rockefeller Center's La Maison Française terrace. Though Bach finished this massive tribute work, "The Spirit of Democracy" was never installed. During Bach's lifetime, the artist was celebrated by renowned art critic and author, Matlack Price, in a publication called "Design & Craftsmanship in Metals: The Creative Art of Oscar Bach." Bach was interviewed and featured in numerous magazine articles and trade publications.
