About the Item

A striking decorative sculpture depicting a toucan, finely cast in brass and mounted on a solid marble base. The piece captures the exotic bird’s distinctive silhouette with its oversized curved beak, sleek body, and perched stance, evoking both naturalism and stylized mid-century design. The polished brass surface, contrasted with the weight and elegance of the marble plinth, lends the work both a sense of luxury and stability. Decorative brass animal figures of this style were popular in the mid-20th century, often produced by European and Latin American artisans known for combining naturalist motifs with modernist flair. This toucan is both a whimsical accent and a sophisticated statement piece, ideal for display on a console, desk, or bookshelf. Dimensions: 11" depth × 8" width × 19.5" height.
