1950s French Concrete Garden Sculpture – Crane or Pelican 17¼"

This 1950s French garden sculpture is molded from concrete and depicts a stylized bird, likely a crane or pelican, in a seated pose with its beak pointing downward, as if in quiet contemplation. The bird appears to be perched on a rock, giving the piece a sense of grounding and stability. Patches of moss, which have accumulated naturally over time, enhance the sculpture's charming weathered patina, adding character and texture. The abstract, flowing lines of the bird's form combined with the aged concrete exude a rustic elegance typical of mid-century French garden art. This serene piece is a perfect addition to both contemporary and classical outdoor spaces, evoking a timeless, peaceful atmosphere.
