About the Item
This expressive pair of hand-carved wooden swans dates to midcentury America, blending sculptural form with folk art sensibility. Carved from solid wood, each bird features a gracefully elongated neck, a subtly stylized body, and a minimalistic interpretation of feathers and facial features. The surfaces display tool marks, soft irregularities, and a pale natural finish that celebrates the grain and imperfections of the wood.
The larger swan stands approximately 30 inches long by 12 inches wide and 23 inches high, while the smaller measures roughly 26 inches long by 11 inches wide and 21 inches high. Together, they create a harmonious and poetic silhouette, whether placed facing inward as a pair or set apart as individual statement pieces.
Evoking a sense of serenity and rustic elegance, these swans make for striking decorative objects in a variety of settings—from lakeside cabins and nature-inspired interiors to minimalist or modern eclectic homes. Their scale and visual presence allow them to function as floor sculptures, entryway pieces, or whimsical additions to a garden room or gallery wall arrangement.
