A striking pair of vintage brass cranes with graceful elongated necks, detailed wings and richly patterned bases. Their sculptural silhouettes and warm aged finish make them beautiful statement pieces for a mantel, console or collected interior.
Each bird is cast with individually articulated feathers, slender legs and a long pointed beak. The two cranes have subtly different poses, giving the pair a sense of movement when displayed together. Particularly beautiful are the substantial decorative bases, embossed with radiating botanical motifs that complement the feather detailing above.
The brass has developed natural variations in tone and areas of patina, emphasizing the texture of the casting and giving the pair their distinctive vintage character. Elegant from every angle, they work beautifully as a pair while still retaining the handcrafted appearance of individual decorative objects.
Sold as a pair.
