Pair of Mid-Century Bronze / Brass Rooster Sculptures – Standing & Dynamic Model (c. 1950–1975)

A beautifully executed pair of decorative rooster sculptures, consisting of one standing figure and one dynamic, flying model. These striking pieces reflect the bold elegance of mid-century interior design.

This set includes:

• One standing rooster

• One rooster captured in dynamic motion

Both figures display finely engraved feather detailing and expressive sculptural movement. The craftsmanship shows clear hand-finishing after casting, particularly in the incised feather lines and textured surfaces.
