Beschrijving
Impressive pair of large decorative crane sculptures, made in Japan during the 1970s and executed in patinated bronze.
The two birds are modelled in different yet complementary poses, creating a particularly elegant and dynamic composition when displayed together. One crane raises its long neck and beak upwards, while the other bends its neck gracefully towards its body. Both figures stand on long, slender legs, with one leg lifted in a naturalistic pose.
The bronze is finely detailed throughout, with carefully modelled feathers, expressive heads, long beaks and textured legs. The dark patinated surface enhances the sculptural quality and gives the birds a sophisticated, almost graphic appearance.
With their impressive scale, these cranes make a striking decorative statement and work particularly well as a pair in a spacious interior, entrance hall or conservatory.
Heights: approximately 142 cm and 136 cm.
Condition: Good vintage condition with natural patina and minor signs of age and use consistent with their period.
Bird one ; H.142 cm , Bird two; H. 136 cm
