Vintage Syroco Harp Shaped Wood Hanging Wall and similar items

Founded in the late 19th century in Syracuse, New York, Syroco began as a brainchild of Adolph Holstein, offering an innovative solution to high-end wood carving. It initially specialized in producing decorative woodwork for local homes and businesses. However, the Great Depression ushered in a new era for Syroco, as it pivoted to more affordable, mass-produced items, creating a niche in American households. The mid-20th century marked a golden age for Syroco, with an array of products ranging from wall hangings to functional items like corkscrews. Each piece reflected a commitment to craftsmanship, albeit in a more accessible form Syroco Wood was a process of blending wood pulp with other casting materials and using a shallow mold to make figurines with a faux wood graining. The process was developed by the Syracuse Ornamental Company in the 1890s, hence the name Syroco.
