The fox crouches with its bushy tail curled around its body, its shape balancing a sense of movement with repose. Carefully worked fur details give the surface a tactile character, while the deep grain and warm patina bring out the expressive qualities of the wood.

The sculpture's scale and richly textured surface make it an engaging focal point on a console, low cabinet or substantial shelf. Seen from different angles, the carved fur and curled tail reveal the attention given to the animal's form. Its natural finish and rustic character complement collected interiors and other works made from organic materials. The variation in the wood grain adds to the individuality of the piece, allowing the material and the carving to work together as part of the composition.

The sculpture measures 21.75 inches wide, 17.25 inches deep and 16.25 inches high. It is in very good vintage condition with a warm patina, minor surface wear and small nicks consistent with age. The source describes it as structurally sound, with no visible repairs or significant damage. Please review the photographs for the carving, wood grain, finish and areas of wear. This substantial decorative piece offers a thoughtful study of an animal form in naturally aged wood. See less
