ABOUT PRODUCTID 1759
This owl figurine from 1920s Austria is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Art Deco era. The body, cast in a patinated white metal alloy, exhibits a deep, cool bronze tone with subtle metallic highlights. The surface is predominantly matte, with gentle satin reflections on the raised areas, accentuating the lifelike feather texture. The eyes are crafted from vivid amber glass, set in a naturalistically rendered head, giving the figure a striking and expressive gaze. The owl is perched atop a closed book, its spine and pages delicately incised in metal, all resting on a base of black veined marble polished to a high sheen. The proportions are harmonious, and anatomical details—feathers, talons, and facial features—demonstrate meticulous workmanship. The condition is excellent, with only minimal patina variations visible, typical for an authentic piece of this age and quality. This piece evokes the spirit of the 1920s, when Art Deco boldly merged natural inspiration with geometric stylization. The owl appears to tell its own story as a guardian of knowledge and a symbol of nocturnal wisdom, while the cool metallic sheen and glass eyes create an atmosphere of focus and serenity. The marble base conjures the opulent spirit of interwar Europe, a time when even small decorative objects served as refined accents in sophisticated living rooms. The figurine can be displayed on a walnut sideboard or within a dark glass cabinet, where subtle lighting will highlight the patina and the contrast of the marble. It could be paired with other Art Deco objects, such as geometric photo frames or vintage
