PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This pair of brass birds, mounted on wood bases dressed in velvet, illustrates the 1970s decorative taste for animal motifs treated with preciousness. The finely modelled brass gives the birds a sculptural presence, while the wood and velvet bases bring verticality and a precious setting to the composition.
Decorative animalier experienced in the 1960s–1970s a true craze, popularised by decorators such as Maison Charles, Sergio Bustamante or Carlos Pojola. The metallic bestiary — birds, horses, felines, tortoises — became a visual signature of refined interiors, where it introduces a narrative and whimsical note. This pair of birds fits fully within this tradition.
With slender dimensions per piece (Width: 27 cm | Depth: 23 cm | Height: 88 cm), the pair finds its place on a console, a sideboard, framing a sofa or as a vertical accent in an entrance hall.
A typical 1970s decorative pair whose animalier whimsy continues to enchant eclectic and contemporary interiors.
