A striking Mid-Century Modern sculpture executed in the Greek Revival taste, depicting Athena riding a stylized horse-drawn chariot accompanied by her symbolic owl. Rendered with pronounced Etruscan and Brutalist influences, the piece embodies the sculptural abstraction and mythological romanticism that defined a wave of sophisticated decorative arts produced during the mid-20th century. Executed in patinated cast metal with a rich verdigris finish, the sculpture evokes the appearance of an excavated antiquity while maintaining the clean linearity and expressive geometry associated with Mid-Century Modern design. The elongated horse forms, angular chariot construction, and primitive-classical composition strongly recall the work of Frederick Weinberg and related Raymor-era designers, blending ancient Mediterranean inspiration with modernist decorative sensibilities. Dramatic from every angle, this highly decorative object functions equally well as a bookshelf sculpture...

Exceptional pair of vintage large scale brass elephant sculptures. One is larger, one is slightly smaller but they both stand over 2 feet tall! Each elephant’s trunk reaching upward, a symbol of good luck. These are beautifully crafted with detail in the modeling. The artist took care to represent the folds in the ears, creases in the skin, and spine on the backs. Elephants are revered by many, but are considered sacred in Hindu and Buddhist religions. The raised trunks are said to bring prosperity and protection to those in their presence. This commanding brass elephant figurine stands over two feet tall, offering an impressive sculptural presence that commands attention. Crafted from substantial brass, the form is richly detailed. The warm golden patina has developed natural depth over time, lending the piece both gravitas and a sense of radiant character. In excellent condition with vintage authenticity intact, the brass surface shows subtle traces of age: a gently darkened patina in recessed areas, light handling marks on raised planes, and a ledger of character signifying a life well-lived rather than detracting from its visual integrity.
