“The Car Wash” — Hand-Poured Silver Art Panel
3.18 ozt | 75mm x 50mm | Hallmarked 2025 | 1-of-1
There’s a certain kind of magic in classic 1950s pin-up art…
The humour, the glamour, the slightly chaotic drama all frozen in a single frame of storytelling.
“The Car Wash” takes that entire world and pours it, quite literally, into solid fine silver.
This one-of-a-kind hand-cast art panel captures a moment every vintage pin-up lover recognises instantly: the heels, the stockings, the suds… and of course, that perfect, exasperated expression.
A beautiful disaster — immortalised in metal.
Cast using the traditional sand-casting method in my Silver Punk studio, the piece carries all the raw, tactile texture that collectors crave: poured edges, organic highlights, and the unmistakable hand-finished character that no machine can mimic. The relief is deep and dramatic, shifting from soft curves to crisp details depending on how the light hits it, a true conversation piece.
Fully hallmarked for 2025 at the Birmingham Assay Office, this panel weighs approximately 3.18 ozt and measures 75mm x 50mm.
It arrives housed in a custom 3D-printed display case by NerdUK, featuring the original artwork on the lid, created exclusively for this pour.
Owning “The Car Wash” means owning a slice of vintage Americana reimagined through modern silver art…
A nostalgic wink, a collector’s showpiece, and a guaranteed talking point in any display.
This is a true 1-of-1. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
