A finely cast pair of bronze cranes, each modelled with slender legs, detailed plumage and elegant, arched necks. Designed as working fountains, water flows gently from their open beaks when plumbed — ideal for placement beside a pond, pool or water feature.
These are excellent examples of 20th-century garden bronzes, drawing clear influence from Japanese Meiji-period design. Cranes have long been symbols of longevity and harmony in Japanese art, and similar forms were produced in the late 19th century both for domestic gardens and for export. The balance of movement and stillness in these figures echoes that tradition, while the surface has mellowed to a natural verdigris green patination that looks glorious against all of your planting schemes.
A decorative and well-composed pair, equally suited to sculptural or functional use in garden or courtyard settings.
