Steel Meets Glass – PEARL Sign by Steve Swain
The first thing you may notice when you drive or walk or bike down Commercial St. into Wellfleet Harbor, is Pearl’s fantastic welcome sign made by local Cape Cod artist Steve Swain. The sign is made from cut mild steel combined with a hand blown Sandwich Glass globe. The work is housed in a sturdy wooden post frame with a corrugated peaked roof that matches Pearl’s own. When you see it at night, it glows with light provided by solar panels. Steve Swain is a very talented metal sculptor.
He worked for years in Centerville Cape Cod, and recently relocated to Harwich. In addition to this great sign, all the signage and decorative metal throughout our restaurant is by Steve. We have two large single letter signs on each side of our roof, dramatic horseshoe crab wall sconces, baitball lighted globes at the bar, and incredible square cone hanging lights in front of the kitchen.
