Description from the seller
Set of 2 Danish teak wall sculptures – herons/cranes – Mid-Century Modern – c. 1960
A special and elegant set of two vintage Danish wall sculptures, made of teak and dating from the 1960s.
The sculptures depict highly abstracted flying herons or cranes. The birds have been reduced to an ultra-sleek, almost graphic line, with a remarkably elongated silhouette and a subtly formed body. This minimalist vernacular is characteristic of Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern design from that period.
The warm reddish-brown color of the teak and the visible natural grain give both birds a lively character. Despite their similar design, small differences in the wood grain are visible, giving each piece its own look.
Of particular note is the proportion: with a length of no less than 48.5 cm and a height of only about 3 cm, the sculptures are extraordinarily slender. On the wall, they create a strong sense of movement, as if the two birds are flying in formation through the space.
Origin and comparison
The set originates from Denmark. Similar Danish teak wall sculptures are described in international design circles as stylized herons/cranes and are typically dated to the 1960s.
There are several related Danish teak bird objects known, but without an identifiable maker’s mark it is not appropriate to attribute this set definitively to a specific designer or manufacturer. The maker is therefore intentionally listed as unknown.
Specifications
Set: 2 wall sculptures
Origin: Denmark
Period: c. 1960s
Style: Danish Modern / Scandinavian Modern / Mid-Century Modern
Material: teak
Subject: stylized flying herons/cranes
Dimensions per piece: L 48.5 × H 3.0 cm
Maker/designer: unknown
The birds are in nice vintage condition with light signs of use and age appropriate to their age. The original wood structure, grain pattern and warm patina are preserved. Please examine the photos carefully; they form an important part of the condition description.
A particularly decorative yet understated set of Danish wall art, which, due to its organic lines and exceptionally slender form, beautifully suits a Scandinavian, Japandi, or Mid-Century interior.
Both pieces are securely packed for Smart Shipping, sent by registered mail and insured with tracking.
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.
