ABOUT PRODUCTID 15702
This set of two brass flamingos from the 1960s, crafted by Gilde Handwerk in Germany, encapsulates the refined spirit and craftsmanship of mid-century modern decorative art. Each figure is cast in solid brass with a deeply saturated, golden finish that strongly reflects light, lending a sense of warmth and fluidity. The flamingos stand atop stylized bases reminiscent of water or foliage, with subtle engraved textures that underscore their connection to the natural world. Their slender, elongated forms and streamlined curves resonate with the era’s fascination for simplicity and organic silhouettes. Gentle modeling of the bodies is complemented by carefully rendered details around the eyes and beaks. The surfaces are uniformly smooth, with visible soldering only at the base, signaling handcrafted assembly. Measurements apply to the smaller figure: height 32 cm, width 10 cm, depth 17 cm. The set is preserved in excellent condition – only minimal patina or micro-scratches might be observed, consistent with well-maintained vintage decor. There is an understated elegance and lightness within these flamingos, emblematic of 1960s modernism. Their shapes recount a time when designers drew from nature, distilling its essence into flowing, simplified forms. The polished brass surface both refracts and absorbs the ambience, adding a discreet suggestion of southern European warmth to a room. The elongated contours and delicate patterning are a subtle homage to the natural world, woven into the restrained geometry of mid-century aesthetics. The pair would pair well with simple, geometric furniture – on a walnut console or a teak sideboard, drawing out their organic lineage. They could be combined
