Description from the seller
Vintage wooden crane statue – elegant mid-century sculpture – mid-century
A graceful eye-catcher with a beautiful silhouette. This vintage wooden crane combines a slender stance with flowing, almost abstract forms. The upright beak, subtly curved neck and elongated leg give the sculpture a remarkable balance between stillness and movement.
The warm brown wood with visible grain and a soft sheen brings the design beautifully to life. From every viewing angle a different interplay of lines emerges: a characterful accent on a sideboard, console, or in a carefully curated collection.
The stylised execution aligns with the organic language of mid-century modern. Natural materials and a simplified rendering of the bird give it an appearance that also convinces in a contemporary interior.
Features
* Stylised wooden crane on a wooden base with rounded corners.
* Slim, sculptural form with an upright beak.
* Warm wood colour, visible grain and glossy finish.
* Handwritten name/signature and dating under the base.
Condition
Vintage with signs of use and wear on the surface, including small scratches and localized wear to the finish. At the very tip of the beak, a microscopic piece is missing, visible in the detail photo. This minimally detracts from the elegant overall image. The photos are an integral part of the description.
A refined vintage object for lovers of wooden sculptures, bird figures and the characterful design of the sixties.

Height 49.5 cm
