- Add a striking piece of interwar design history to your collection with this original1930s Art Deco Swan Sculpture. Exhibiting classicStreamline Modernedesign language, this piece features a dramatically stylized, sweeping geometric wing and a fluid, looping neck.Originally manufactured in Europe as one half of a premium matching pair of figural bookends, this magnificent bird functions beautifully on its own today as a standalone tabletop statement piece, paperweight, or restoration project.Design & Manufacturing Details:
- Artistic Style:Authentic French Cubist Art Deco. The extreme fanning of the wing and clean, geometric facets represent the pinnacle of the post-1925 Parisian design movement celebrating machine-age lines.
- Material & Finish:Heavy cast spelter metal alloy (fonte d'art) featuring its original deep, rich, dark bronze-toned applied patina.
- Underside Construction:The piece features a completely hollow interior—typical of high-quality vintage slush-casting—complete with an internal mounting post and cavity channels. It was originally engineered to bolt down seamlessly through the bottom onto a heavy marble or onyx block base.
- Internal Marks:The raw interior casing reveals a faint, partial vintage "Made in France" export stamp, alongside a clear, raised"Circled Y"foundry/mold master mark used to track artisan piecework in the workshop during production.
Condition Report:
Good vintage conditionwith a gorgeous, naturally aged patina. It shows minor surface wear, light pitting, and character marks consistent with a 90+ year old metal casting. The structural metal is entirely solid with no cracks or repairs. Please note that the original stone base is missing; the piece rests at a slight natural tilt when placed directly on a flat surface due to the bottom mounting rim. This makes it an absolute dream candidate for a custom marble base restoration or display on a specialized stand.Please carefully inspect all high-resolution macro photos to judge the exact cosmetic condition for yourself.
