Syroco large wall hanging birds and floral design

Syroco was actually a term for a composite wood that was used in molds. It came from the Syracuse Ornamental Company , which also was known for short as Syroco. If you take the SYR from the first three letters in Syracuse , the O from Ornamental and the CO from company and put them all together they spell SYROCO. The company was founded in the late 1800’s by a European master wood carver and they became quite popular making woodcarvings for decorative pieces in homes , making furniture and doing pieces to adorn caskets. Demand became so great that they started to make molds creating exact copies of their original pieces. They came up with a mixture and a way to texture the molds that gave the final product a distinctive look and was very inexpensive to produce.  

SYROCO went in many directions over the years , corkscrews during the fifties and sixties hold the most value , I understand from some contacts that Mirrors and Picture Frames have a market. Top prices here would fetch 125 to 200 dollars. Your pieces came from the early 1960’s , they made pieces like this from 1950 to the late sixties. Your piece probably in excellent condition would fetch 25 to 50 dollars.

SYROCO was still operating in the 1990’s when a fire destroyed all of their records , I believe they are still in existence
