XXL vintage standing dolphin – gold-colored – imposing decorative object

A spectacular and particularly decorative XXL standing dolphin, executed in a glossy gold-colored finish. Due to the extraordinarily large size and the striking vertical posture, this is an object that immediately grabs attention.

The dolphin is nicely shaped with an elegant curved body, recognizable long snout, and beautifully worked eyes and fins. Of particular note are the large, plastically worked tail fins at the bottom, on which the sculpture stands independently. The design is typical of the pronounced decorative interior style of the second half of the 20th century.

The gold-colored finish gives the statue a luxurious and almost theatrical appearance. Because of its size, this dolphin is exceptionally suited to serve as a statement piece in a hall, living room, hotel, restaurant, beach house, or eclectic interior. Also very attractive for collectors of vintage maritime and nautical decoration.

In the photos, a normal wine bottle is placed next to the figure for comparison, which makes the impressive size clearly visible. The wine bottle does not belong to the lot, of course.
