Sculpture, Zeldzaam object Weström - 33 cm - Plaster

An refined and endearing duo that brings Folk Modern design, classical elegance and warm gold accents together in a timeless decorative statement.
This impressive set of two decorative figurines forms a stylish and harmonious whole with a distinct character. The figures are crafted from cast plaster with a gold-colored finish and immediately stand out due to their striking size, solid weight and rich appearance.
The girl with her finger in her mouth gives the whole thing a tender and poetic charge. This recognizable gesture from childhood evokes feelings of innocence, security and calm. In combination with the boy, it creates a balanced and endearing scene that adds a soft, nostalgic atmosphere to any interior.
The design aligns with the Folk Modern design from the mid-20th century: a style in which folkloric influences are combined with modern simplicity and playful expression. The warm gold-colored finish gives the figurines a classic and luxurious look, making them equally at home in traditional and contemporary interiors.

Bertil Weström (Sweden, 20th century) was a Scandinavian designer and sculptor, active mainly in the 1950s–1970s. He was known for his figurative sculptures with playful, recognizable poses and influences from Scandinavian folk design.
The design of these figurines shows similarities to this style. The name “Westrom” is cast into the object. However, there is no additional documentation confirming a direct attribution to the artist.
