This owl sculpture, crafted from Lavinit, stands as a striking example of German Art Deco from 1920s Berlin. Signed by the artist Curth and produced by Henker & Co., the piece demonstrates an innovative approach to both form and material. Its monumental height of 38 cm and width of 17 cm emphasize its decorative presence, with the owl perched atop a stylized, faceted base.

The only accent of color appears in the owl’s eyes, delicately highlighted in muted yellow with dark pupils, adding a lifelike and contemplative note.

It remains in very good condition, with a gentle patina and only minimal age-appropriate traces, characteristic of authentic vintage works.This eagle-owl tells the story of an era when Berlin was at the forefront of avant-garde experimentation. Its silhouette carries the strength and gravitas typical of Art Deco—monumental in presence, reducing nature to a geometric emblem.

Lavinit, a material both modern and daring in the 1920s, lends
