AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exquisite Danish wooden sculpture by Leo / Lev Kari – Denmark – circa 1960–1970
A refined and rare art object from the Danish wood artist Leo / Lev Kari, a master in creating organically shaped wooden animals with a pure, modernist look. This sculpture shows his characteristic balance between simplicity and expressiveness: soft curves, a flowing contour, and a serene, almost sculptural stillness that only handcraft can produce.
The object is completely hand-carved – not mass-produced, but a unique mid-century artwork from Denmark. The warm wood tones are beautifully seasoned, and the piece bears the original signature “Lev Kari – Denmark,” ensuring authenticity and collectability.
A particularly stylish addition for lovers of Scandinavian Modern, organic design, and high-quality wooden art objects from the sixties.
Dimensions: H 11.7 cm x L 16 cm x D 5.0 cm
Weight: 230.4 g
A sculpture that radiates both calm and refinement — ideal for a design interior, display cabinet, desk, or as a atmospheric mid-century accent.
Condition:
Authentic vintage with patina and historical stratification — professionally curated and selected with an eye for detail and quality. With a small imperfection at the bottom of the foot that emphasizes the craft and character.
It will be securely shipped with smart packaging, 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.
