This is a lovely vintage brass sculpture of a mother dolphin with her calf, cast in solid brass and full of character. The forms are smooth and flowing with a natural mid-century feel, and the polished highlights sit beautifully against the softer aged patina in the recesses.
It’s a substantial piece at 30 x 20 x 13cm and weighs 1.35kg, giving it real presence. Because of the weight and the flat underside it can even be used as a decorative door stop, as well as a stand-out piece for coastal or nautical-themed interiors.
The surface shows the gentle wear you would expect from an older brass ornament, with a mix of bright polish and natural patina that adds depth and warmth. The casting lines underneath show its handmade origins.
A charming piece for collectors of brass animals, seaside décor or anyone who loves a sculptural focal point.
