Small but full of character – a cast bronze fish sculpture with a rich, naturally aged patina and polished highlights. The piece captures that perfect balance between realism and abstraction typical of Nordic post-war bronze work: expressive texture, confident simplicity, and quiet weight. The fish rests on a smooth geometric base that gives it an almost totemic presence.

Likely made in Finland during the 1960s–1970s, this is a beautiful example of the modernist bronze tradition that bridged fine art and craft. Its tactile surface and deep tones echo the work of sculptors like Pentti Papinaho and Heikki Häiväoja, yet it stands on its own as an anonymous but powerful piece of studio bronze.

A timeless desk or shelf sculpture - elegant, compact, and heavy in the best way.

ABOUT NORDIC BRONZE SCULPTURE
During the mid-20th century, Finnish and Scandinavian sculptors developed a distinctive approach to small-scale bronze work: organic, textural, and rooted in nature. Fish, birds, and abstract forms were popular motifs, each treated as an exploration of movement and material rather than literal depiction. These studio bronzes remain highly collectible for their integrity, craftsmanship, and enduring modern appeal.
