Hollywood Regency Style Polished Brass Giraffe Sculptures, Pair
-
Description
A hallmark of any well-appointed home is character, something achieved through architectural intrigue, refined style, or a curated collection of meaningful objects. Over the past century, tastes have evolved, but certain pieces endure, transcending trends to maintain their emotional resonance. This masterfully crafted pair of brass giraffes is one such example. Endearing and elegant, they continue to evoke the same sense of wonder and admiration today as they did when first cast.
Viewed from any angle, the pair offers visual delight. Each giraffe strikes a distinct and expressive pose: the smaller, alert and attentive; the taller, graceful with a poised, watchful gaze. Their positioning transforms the tone they convey, together they bring movement and narrative, offering more personality than most static sculptures.
Cast in solid brass, each figure features a raised pattern that subtly nods to the giraffe’s iconic spots. Their hand-polished finish remains beautifully intact, having mellowed into a rich patina over time. This particular pair is among the largest we've encountered, bold and sculptural, they make a striking statement whether displayed side by side or styled separately. -
