Mini Story or Hook:

A beautifully stylised vintage wooden bird sculpture depicting an elegant long-legged heron or crane with its distinctive elongated beak and graceful curved neck.

Hand carved with a wonderfully simple, almost modernist form, the sculptor has captured the character of the bird using elongated proportions and restrained detailing. The dark stained timber gives the piece a striking silhouette, while the small inset eye provides a charming finishing detail.

Mounted on its original rectangular wooden base, this is a particularly attractive piece of vintage decorative folk art that would work beautifully in a Mid-Century Modern, coastal, naturalist or eclectic interior.

Its slender proportions also make it ideal for display on a bookshelf, sideboard, desk or amongst a collection of vintage carved animals and birds.
