Sculpture, Blacksmith - 17.4 cm - Bronze - 1950

What you’re looking at here is a vintage brass blacksmith figurine, crafted around 1950, and it really captures the hardworking spirit of a bygone era. This particular piece stands about 7 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 3.5 inches deep, making it the perfect size for a desk or shelf without taking up too much space. The blacksmith is shown in the middle of his craft—with hammer in hand, next to an anvil and an old wagon wheel—giving you a real sense of that old-school, hands-on work ethic. When you pick it up, you’ll feel the solid weight of brass; this isn’t some flimsy trinket. The condition is considered near mint, which is pretty rare for something that’s been around for over four decades. The surface still has that golden shine, with only a hint of gentle patina, showing it’s been well cared for through the years.
