About the Item

Charming and lively, this rare bronze sculpture depicts a school of fish, undulating in the ocean current, intermixed with seaweed rising from the sea floor littered with seashells, all finished in a lovely classic bronze patina highlighted in green and gold. Although unsigned, this sculpture clearly dates from the 1950s or 1960s. The bronze is set in its original wood base.

Rare brass fish sculpture from the 20th century. The special thing about the sculpture, it consists of two parts. The fish is put into the coral. A beautiful maritime decoration, which can actually be combined well with everything and by its small depth can be placed wonderfully on narrow shelves.
