Vintage Brass & Black Lacquer Crane Sculptures (Pair)

These Vintage Brass & Black Lacquer Crane Sculptures (Pair) were made in the 1970's in Korea. A timeless nod to mid-century design, this elegant pair of brass and black lacquered cranes captures the sculptural minimalism that defined décor in the 1960s and 1970s. Bird motifs — especially cranes and herons — became especially popular during the mid-century era, appearing in metal wall art and tabletop sculptures inspired by California modernism and Hollywood Regency interiors.

These pieces feature slender black lacquered bodies, textured brass wings, and round brass bases — a classic silhouette often seen in vintage import décor of the era. In many East Asian traditions, cranes symbolize longevity, peace, and faithful partnership — a quiet reminder of grace and enduring love.

Inspired by the iconic mid-century metalwork movement, this pair would lend a highly elevated, beautiful, and sculptural addition for bookshelves, consoles, or layered vignettes. Perfect for adding height, warmth, and a touch of retro glamour to any space!
