About the Item

This is a magnificent, matching pair of Italian Mid-Century Modern Herons sculptures, crafted in the 1960s by De Stijl Firenze. These iconic "Aironi" (Herons) feature streamlined, curved bodies made of a striking material—a lacquered wood with a beautiful marbled black and silver/gold swirl effect, giving them a cosmic, high-gloss finish. The contrast is dramatic, showcasing the era's taste for bold materials and forms. The elegance of the birds is captured by their slender, elongated legs and gracefully arched necks, which are executed in gleaming silver-plated metal. Both birds stand on a circular metal base, and one is posed with its head and beak raised dramatically, while the other is shown in a lower, feeding posture, creating a harmonious and dynamic visual display. The piece bears the distinctive "DS" mark (De Stijl) on the body of one of the cranes, confirming its authenticity and Florentine origin. This pair is an exceptional example of Italian design, blending natural inspiration with sleek, modernist abstraction, and would serve as a stunning focal point in any Hollywood Regency, Mid-Century, or contemporary interior.
