Description from the seller
Pair of Vintage Burnished Brass Fighting Roosters – Mid-Century Elegance
Add a touch of character and dynamism to your decor with this splendid pair of vintage sculptures depicting fighting roosters. Crafted with artisanal workmanship typical of the mid-20th century, these pieces capture the energy and pride of rural life with a sophisticated, timeless style.
These are not mere ornaments, but true design pieces that tell a story. The dynamic pose — one ready to strike and the other in a defensive stance — creates a unique sense of movement, capable of drawing the eye and becoming the visual centerpiece of any room.
Technical and Craft Details
Material: Fine alloy of brass or bronze with a warm antique patina that enhances depth.
Incised Details: Every single feather, comb, and spur is finished with meticulous care, offering a realistic texture and a pleasing feel to the touch.
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Eclectic.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The natural oxidation of the metal gives the pieces authentic charm (they can be polished to a mirror finish or left as is for a more antique look). Any minor loss only testifies to the age and charm of the sculptures.
Home Decor Tips
These sculptures are incredibly versatile:
In the living room: Perfect on a console, a fireplace, or a low glass coffee table.
In the office: Ideal as a luxurious paperweight or decoration for an important desk, symbolizing strength and determination.
Gift Idea: An exclusive gift for collectors of animalier art or lovers of vintage design.
Indicative Dimensions:
Rooster A (high pose): 17 cm x 20 cm
Rooster B (low pose): 15 cm x 20 cm
Don’t miss this iconic pair: an investment in beauty and style that never goes out of fashion.
