Description from the seller

Rare Danish teak wall sculpture – Bird in Flight – PJ Poul Jeppesen – Mid-Century Modern (ca. 1960)

Danish design, teak wall sculpture, Poul Jeppesen, PJ Denmark, mid century modern, Scandinavian modern, teak wall art, Danish bird sculpture, vintage wall decor, 1960s design, organic modernism, Kay Bojesen style, Danish modern wood, wall mounted sculpture, collector design object

This elegant Danish teak wall sculpture in the shape of a bird in flight is a beautiful example of Scandinavian modernism from the 1950s–1960s. The piece bears the original PJ stamp "Made in Denmark" from Poul Jeppesen, a renowned Danish studio that produced high-quality teak wall objects for the international market.

The flowing lines, the long tail, and the minimalist silhouette give the image an almost graphic quality — typical of the heyday of Danish modernism, in which form and movement were central.

The sculpture is entirely made from solid old-growth teak, with a warm honey color and a fine grain. The piece is hand-carved and finished; on the back there is the original hanging hole, which confirms that it was specially designed as a wall piece.

Denmark, circa 1958–1968
Stamp: PJ – Made in Denmark

Similar PJ wall birds and Danish teak sculptures from this period are traded internationally in the price range:
€180 – €260 (in good to very good condition, like this example).

This makes the object not only aesthetically appealing, but also a solid collectible within the Scandinavian design segment.

Why is this piece special?

Original Danish export object
Solid teak, no veneer.
Highly sought-after mid-century style
Timeless and architectural
Perfect for design and Japandi interiors.

This is not an ordinary wall decoration, but a sculptural design object that instantly gives the space character and Scandinavian elegance.

Dimensions: 56 cm × 8.5 cm × 1.0 cm

This object is a quiet, timeless beauty — upheld by craftsmanship and design history. It is securely packed with smart shipping, sent by registered mail and insured.

Seller's Story

I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
