AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A stunning and characterful vintage bird sculpture of a heron/egret, crafted in warm, high-quality wood carving with an integrated metal ashtray.
This object exudes the atmosphere of the Italian Mid-Century Modern design period of the 1950s and 1960s.
The design bears a strong resemblance to the iconic work of Italian designer Aldo Tura (Macabo).
The bird stands on a solid, kidney-shaped wooden base and has beautifully detailed metal legs. In the beak is a subtle eyelet where originally a small lantern hung.
The woodwork is in a very beautiful, glossy vintage condition with minimal, age-appropriate signs of use that contribute to its character.
Note: the object is delivered without the hanging lantern.
Nevertheless, it remains a fantastic and unique decorative statement piece with an original metal ashtray insert for an eclectic or Mid-Century interior.
