A breathtaking large-scale sculptural swan planter, rare in both form and finish. This early mid-century casting is beautifully modeled, with graceful movement through the neck and meticulously detailed wings.
Unlike the glossy powder-coated versions that appear occasionally on the market, this piece features an extraordinary custom concrete-style patina—a finish so convincing that it feels like stone until you knock on it. The lower body shows natural erosion blended seamlessly into the hand-finished surface, creating the illusion of genuine aged concrete.
Every detail—texture, tone, and shadow—has been layered to perfection, giving the surface a timeless, organic presence reminiscent of European garden statuary. The artistry of the finish and the refinement of the casting make this swan truly singular—a sculptural statement with extraordinary presence and soul.
Ideal as a planter, jardinière, or focal point, it stands beautifully on its own or styled with moss, ivy, or florals. It’s an uncommon opportunity to own a piece that bridges fine art and classic garden ornament.

The swan is structurally solid and stable, with expected surface variation consistent with age and intentional artistic finishing. There is natural erosion at the base where the metal and finish have weathered together, enhancing the realistic stone appearance. A few small openings in the front breast feathers on one side and a tiny pinhole on the other are visible upon close inspection — all secure and stable, part of the piece’s authentic aged character rather than damage. No structural weakness, movement, or instability. The patina and wear beautifully complement its sculptural presence and add to the illusion of true aged concrete. less
