Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, the avian form is composed of individual overlapping "feathers" that have been ruggedly textured through an industrial torch-cutting process. The spindly, hand-wrought legs and an expressive, jagged crest give the piece a remarkable sense of personality and life, despite its raw metallic origins. This sculpture masterfully balances the heavy materiality of iron with a dynamic, almost whimsical silhouette, making it an ideal choice for a sophisticated library, a rustic mantel, or a contemporary entryway gallery.


Measuring 14.75” long, 12” deep, and 14.25” tall, this substantial piece offers a commanding presence and rich textural depth. It remains in great vintage condition, featuring a heavy, all-over rusted patina that is highly intentional and central to the Brutalist aesthetic. This natural oxidation adds an authentic layer of soul and age to the metalwork, ensuring it stands out as a unique artisanal find. Add this captivating iron bird to your collection to bring a touch of sculptural history and organic modernism to your home today. See less
