This sculpture from the 1930 Art Deco period depicts a seagull swooping downwards with wings outstretched and stylised feathers shown in fine detail. The bird hovers directly above stylised ocean waves that rise from a rectangular black and white veined marble base, complete with distinct white veining, polished surfaces and crisp geometric corners. Composed of patinated spelter finished in verdigris green, the piece stands 33.5 cm high, 36 cm wide and 17.5 cm deep. Placement suits a prominent mantelpiece, side table or console table in a living room, study or hallway. The seagull detaches from the crest of the wave for transport, resting securely on the wave structure when displayed. Clean lines and the contrasting dark marble combine to bring distinct period style to interior spaces.

FAQs

Art Deco bird sculptures are recognised by their aerodynamic forms, stylised geometry, and dynamic sense of movement, often capturing wildlife in mid-flight during the interwar period.

Sculptors during the Art Deco era frequently utilised patinated spelter, bronze, or cold-cast metals mounted on solid marble or onyx plinths to achieve visual contrast.

Authentic period pieces typically feature solid marble or onyx bases, age-consistent surface oxidisation to the patinated finish, smooth metal casting details, and occasionally maker marks near the base.

Position the piece on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookshelf where directional lighting can highlight its linear edges and dual-material composition.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid liquid solutions or abrasive polishes that could strip the original surface patina or damage the marble.
