About the Item

Art Déco english patinated bronze papper clip/letter holder depicting a stork head with marble plinth By: unknown Material: bronze, marble, copper, metal Technique: cast, patinated, painted, metalwork, molded Dimensions: 5 in x 2 in x 2.5 in Date: early 20th century, circa 1930 Style: Art Déco Place of origin: England Crafted from patinated bronze and set upon a marble plinth, this desktop sculpture depicts a realistically rendered stork head. The modeling captures the bird's distinctive anatomy in lifelike detail from its long tapered bill to the feathered texture of its head plumage. Despite its delicate naturalism, the sculpture remains sturdy and functional, serving as a paperweight, letter holder and paper clip. A mechanism allows the beak to open and close via a trigger on the reverse. The patina lends depth and rich tone to the bronze. This example of english Art Déco sculpture demonstrates both artistry in its sensitive portrayal of nature and ingenuity in its practical application. A statement piece equally at home in an executive office or modern interior.
