Commissioned site-specific custom wall pieces from Jon Michael Route are available at a discount only to qualified gallery, interior professional, or design firms.  Please call for pricing and availability.  I will be very happy to discuss your project with you personally.

Wall Pieces - Overview

My pieces are typically made from more than one metal. I make use of pewter, brass, copper, and bronze and aluminum because each has different color, working, and physical properties that I can use to my advantage.  Although the color pallette has some limitations, each metal can be colored by a process called “patination” using chemicals and heat. All work is coated with a clear UV inhibitor lacquer to stabilize color and protect the surface. Each piece can be hung with a cleat (provided) for an easy installation. Optional security hangers are available.

Sculptural Wall Pieces 

This signature one-of-a-kind series of work is distinguished by the fact that these constructions have been textured, hammered, and/or altered so that the piece is not flat; that it usually comes off the wall 2-3” or more, and that some elements are formed or sculpted 3-dimensionally. They are also characterized by a metal framework that keeps the piece rigid and allows a more sculptural piece.  (above)

Wall Tiles and Panels 

This series is more economical because the method of construction is much less time consuming. They can be repeated (with allowance for color or patina variations) and the square or rectangular format (below) allows for single pieces as well as grid, vertical, or horizontal installations.

Designs or textures are pressed hydraulically into the metal. After annealing coloration and finish coating, the metal is bonded with a fusion polymer to a painted plywood panel which floats the plane of the metal off the wall.  Panels can be made of one piece of metal (least expensive), or multiple pieces with different layers in a collage fashion. 3-D elements can also be added for an additional charge.  More information  Construction details

  

Color Pallette and Textures

At the top of the page, look for "Color and Texture" in the drop-down box under "Ordering Info".  Remember to use the back button to return to this page.  

Sizes

The panel constructions can be made up to 48" and the sculptural pieces up to 60".  Alternatively, the panels can be fitted closely together in sections or groupings of either can be spaced and used to fill larger areas. 

Additionally…

Sketches and actual metal samples when they are needed are included at no additional cost. I am willing to work with you on design styles and take your suggestions. 

I maintain an exhibition schedule of 8 – 10 art/craftshows per year, so lead-time will vary depending upon when you order and previous commitments.  Generally, I need 4 -8 weeks to acquire materials and schedule production time.

There is typically an additional packing charge over and above the shipping costs. This will vary with the size and number of pieces shipped.  There is an additional charge for crating.

TERMS – Wall Pieces

Discounts are available only to qualified gallery, interior professional, or design firms.  All orders are considered custom and not returnable.  Please call for pricing.

A deposit and credentials must be received before work begins and a second
payment may be required before work is completed. Deposits and payment
schedules can be negotiated at time of sale. Balance plus packing and shipping
charges are due upon receipt. Net-30 days will be extended only after credit
has been established and your account remains in good standing.

Minimum packing charge per carton: $25. This usually covers packing materials
and double boxing for most small/medium pieces. Larger work or pieces
requiring special handling may require crating and/or shipping via common
carrier and additional packing charges. We do try to be reasonable, but some
large or very 3-D pieces need special attention. An estimate can be made at
time of sale.

All UPS/FedEx shipping charges, insurance and additional charges if necessary,
such as UPS oversize, weight surcharges and extra handling fees will be
billed at actual cost.
