Pair of Mid-Century Metal Pheasant Sculptures – Hollywood Regency Style (c. 1950–1975)

A striking pair of decorative pheasant sculptures, designed as elegant tabletop or mantel display objects. These sculptural birds reflect the bold, glamorous aesthetic of mid-century interior design.

This set includes two finely detailed pheasants, crafted in cast metal with a rich dark green patinated finish. The elongated bodies and textured feather detailing give the figures a dynamic yet refined presence.

The feather structure has been manually enhanced after casting, with engraved lines adding depth and realism.

Material & Technique

• Cast metal (likely brass or light bronze)

• Sand-cast production

• Hollow casting (open underside visible)

• Two-part mold construction (light casting seam visible)

• Dark green patina (natural oxidation or applied finish)

• No visible maker’s mark or foundry signature

These pieces are solid yet hollow-cast, typical of decorative metalwork from the mid-20th century.

Dating

Estimated: Mid-20th century (circa 1950–1975)

Stylistic indicators include:

• Hollywood Regency / Italian decorative influence

• Serial yet quality production

• Typical vintage interior accent pieces from the 1960s–1970s

• No characteristics of 19th-century artisan casting

Condition

The patina enhances the vintage character and decorative appeal
