About the Item

A beautifully detailed pair of mid-century brass roosters, captured in a lively foraging pose. Each sculpture is finely cast with an extraordinary level of craftsmanship: layered plumage, deeply incised feathers and dynamic tails that rise dramatically, creating a striking sense of movement. Their expressive posture – heads bent to the ground as if “pecking” in a garden – gives the pair a wonderfully narrative quality. These pieces work beautifully as decorative sculptures, bookend-style accents, or as a highlight on a console or entry table. The style, detailing, and overall sculptural language strongly recall the brass menagerie produced for Gucci in the 1950s, and they are attributed accordingly. The workmanship and material are entirely consistent with that period and school of production.
