This gorgeous sculpture was a South Carolina estate sale find. Made in 1983, it has a mid-century modern style. I do not know the history or provenance. The two whales swivel on their brass stands and can be angled to suit your preference. This is a substantial sculpture ideal for a coffee table, shelf or desk. It weighs more than 5 pounds. The black velvet lining on the base is partially detached. There is patina on the brass. There is general overall wear on the finish. Width: 6.5 inches. Base: 6 X 10 inches.
