The brass has developed over time a deep, warm, golden patina, slightly veiled in areas untouched by hand. The silhouette is remarkably pure: the ovoid body resting on the water, the slender neck curving naturally, the tapered beak slightly raised. No superfluous details. Just the form, in all its perfect simplicity. This solid cast brass sculpture is part of the tradition of animal decorative objects that characterized interiors from the 1950s to the 1970s, when brass reigned supreme in bourgeois homes and characterful apartments. The piece is solid, heavy in hand, with no visible seams. Approximately 15 cm long, 7 cm high. Placed on a desk, a mantelpiece, or an entryway console, it captures the light and reflects it with that golden warmth characteristic of antique brass. An understated and timeless sculpture, for lovers of vintage decor, antique metal, and objects that need no words to make an impression.
