this sea lion, with its fluid silhouette and body entirely sculpted from metal, possesses a luxurious and highly sculptural presence. Made of solid brass, it retains its original superbrass label and is attributed to apko, in the netherlands, in the 1970s.

here, brass is much more than just a material: it lends the sculpture a golden warmth, an almost jewel-like sensuality, and that touch of decadent glamour so characteristic of the most sophisticated interiors of the 1970s. An aesthetic that naturally evokes the hollywood regency, with its penchant for metallic surfaces, sculptural animals, precious materials, and objects designed to attract attention.

at 19 cm, this sea lion is the ideal size to make a statement without dominating the space. On a console table, chest of drawers, bookcase, or coffee table, it instantly adds that touch of opulence and eccentricity that transforms a room.

it can be displayed alone, like a true sculptural piece, or alongside other metal animal-themed objects in a 1970s cabinet of curiosities style.

the superbrass label still attached to the piece is a valuable identifying feature and enhances its appeal to collectors of apko pieces.

a sensual, radiant, and extravagant piece, perfect for adding a touch of 1970s glamour, opulence, and eccentricity to a contemporary or vintage interior.
