Pair of Vintage Boho Chic Burnished brass Koi Fish Sculptures – Japan, 1970s 
In Excellent Condition – No Reserve

Beautiful high-end quality pair of Boho Chic burnished large brass Koi fish sculptures.
Each fish is finely cast with intricate surface detailing and a warm, aged patina that enhances their sculptural depth. The elegant curved bodies and flowing fins reflect the mid-century fascination with natural forms and Asian symbolism in Western interior design.

Dimensions: h 13 x w 20 x d 10 cm
Combined weight: approx. 1.5 kg
Imported from Japan in the 1970s
Both pieces are in excellent vintage condition with a beautiful even tone and only minimal traces of age.

Decorative and symbolic, Koi fish traditionally represent perseverance, prosperity, and good fortune — making them a meaningful addition to any interior.

Historical context:
During the 1960s–1970s, many Japanese decorative objects such as these burnished brass Koi were exported to Europe and the United States, where they became icons of Boho-Chic and Hollywood Regency style. Their organic form and rich metallic finish made them sought-after accent pieces in sophisticated mid-century homes.

A charming and auspicious pair – true eye-catchers with timeless appeal.
Please see the photos for an accurate impression of this lot.
