Large Propeller Sculptures
These historic propellers find their way to MotoArt from a variety of aircraft dating back to WWII. Each blade undergoes dozens and dozens of hours of sanding and are polished to a mirror finish. These MotoArt sculptures are handsomely mounted on a propeller “clam shell” hub, with internal illumination. To compliment your environment, the hub may be powder-coated any color or chrome plated for an all-polished look. Pricing is based on the size and rarity of the blades.
The majority of our large propellers have been manufactured by Hamilton Standard. Hamilton Standard has been manufacturing solid aluminum blades since the 1920’s. During WWII, they manufactured an astonishing one half million propellers. After the war, most propellers were quickly shelved because the majority of the planes were grounded. When aluminum became a highly recyclable commodity, a good number of the blades quickly vanished.
