A poised duet of elegance, this vintage brass crane sculpture captures the quiet rhythm of nature in mid-century form. Two long-legged birds are frozen in a moment of grace—arching necks, folded wings, and delicate toes perched atop a shared brass base. Crafted in solid brass with a stunning aged patina, this piece exudes timeless sophistication.
Likely dating from the 1960s, sculptures like this were popular in Hollywood Regency and Asian-inspired interiors. Today, they serve as striking focal points in both minimalist and maximalist homes. Its reflective surface catches the light just so, while the stylized lines create drama from every angle.
Style on a mantel, credenza, or entry console for a layered look that evokes curiosity and calm. The perfect finishing touch for a home that tells a story.
Condition:
Great vintage condition with a rich, even patina on the brass. No repairs or structural flaws.
Dimensions:
14.25" tall x 9.25" wide x 5.5" deep

Historical Note:
Crane sculptures symbolize longevity, peace, and balance in many cultures—especially across Asia, where they’re revered as sacred birds. Mid-century brass versions were especially favored in coastal and tropical modernist interiors.
Styling Tip:
Pair with natural elements like wood or marble for contrast. These cranes also complement vintage art, moody bookshelves, or lush plants beautifully.
