Vintage Pete Hawley Fiberglass Wall Hangings
$50.00
Vintage Fiberglass Pete Hawley Wall Hangings of Bedtime Kids Praying. They measures 8 1/2" square. Good condition. They show age and one will need a new hole to hang it.
This pair of eight-and-a-half-inch square wall hangings features the iconic mid-century illustrations of Pete Hawley, a celebrated artist known for his heart-warming depictions of childhood. Crafted from thin, durable fiberglass, these plaques have a unique, slightly translucent quality characteristic of "retro-modern" decor from the 1950s and 60s. The artwork captures the gentle, innocent scene of children in their pajamas kneeling for bedtime prayers, rendered in Hawley’s signature rounded, expressive style.
As a "theatrical curiosity," these plaques serve as a nostalgic anchor for a guest room or a nursery, offering a touch of quiet, mid-century spiritual heritage. They fit seamlessly into a Cottagecore or traditional academic interior, providing a sense of "found-history" and gentle charm. The hangings are in good vintage condition, retaining their vibrant colors and smooth surface. They exhibit an honest patina of age, and one plaque will require a new mounting hole for secure hanging, as the original has worn. This duo is a soulful find for collectors of Pete Hawley’s work or those seeking to add a touch of authentic, mid-century sentimental art to their home.
This set is vintage, approximately 65 years old.
