Large Two-Tone Brass Impala Bust Sculpture on Black Marble Base, 1970s
$1,150.00
A large and striking 1970s Hollywood Regency-style brass impala bust sculpture on black marble base.
Elegant depiction of the iconic African antelope species features slender lyre-shaped ridged horns of polished brass atop a head and long, graceful neck with an intentionally more muted brass finish. Eye-catching from every angle, with a presence that commands attention from across the room.
This is the only example of this particular design that we’ve seen with a two-tone finish, which serves to handsomely set apart and accentuate its various elements and details.
Presented on a round base of polished black marble with dynamic dark grey swirls and white fleck accents.
