Solid Brass Duck in Flight Sculpture

Graceful and timeless, this solid brass duck in mid-flight captures a moment of pure motion — wings lifted, body poised as if caught between earth and air. Sculpted with intricate feather detail and a sense of movement that feels alive, it reflects the mid-century fascination with nature as art — a period when brass decor brought both warmth and sophistication to homes and studies.

This piece was likely produced in the 1960s–1970s, when brass craftsmanship flourished across India and Europe, blending traditional metalwork with modernist form. Its substantial weight and elegant silhouette make it a striking centerpiece for a desk, bookshelf, or mantel — equally at home among books and botanicals as it is beside candlelight.

The surface has developed a soft, natural patina, deepening its golden hue and adding quiet character to its sheen. A symbol of grace, freedom, and enduring craftsmanship, this brass duck embodies the artistry and permanence of the objects we choose to keep close.
