This duck head figurine from the 1950s is crafted entirely from solid brass in the spirit of mid-century modern aesthetics. The minimalist, stylized form distills the bird’s essential features — a softly rounded head, subtle eye relief, and a smoothly elongated beak. Its proportions (height 12 cm, width 8 cm, depth 10 cm) are harmonious, and the surface shows a warm, muted golden hue with a natural brownish patina acquired through oxidation over time. A matte, satin-like finish allows light to diffuse gently across the form, revealing traces of age and a few minor scuffs. The underside is lined with dark material (most likely felt), protecting any surface on which it rests. With no designer’s mark or manufacturer’s signature, the piece stands as a universal, timeless decorative object. Condition: excellent, with original patina and minimal signs of use consistent with vintage brass from the first half of the twentieth century. This distilled duck form is a visual echo of the mid-century era — a time searching for synthesis between nature and geometry, translating the organic world into simplified contours. The figurine seems to whisper stories from an era when interiors welcomed both inspiration from the natural world and a fascination with restraint — here, realism gives way to symbol and the lightness of abstraction. Its mellow patina recalls past decades, not merely as decoration but as a discreet witness to the evolving story of everyday interiors where applied art encountered the comfort of daily life. Such a brass accent will find its place as a
