About the Item

This charming antique garden sculpture was crafted in France circa 1960 and depicts a standing stork rendered in a rustic and highly decorative manner. The figure features a molded concrete body with a textured surface, hand-painted in white with black tail accents and a vivid red beak, and is supported by slender iron legs anchored to a weighted base. The stork, a traditional symbol of the French countryside and European garden ornamentation, is presented here in a stylized yet recognizable form, with its hand-applied finish and slightly naïve quality enhancing its authentic charm. The combination of solid concrete construction and iron support gives the piece both durability and visual character. The sculpture shows surface wear, paint loss, and weathering consistent with age and outdoor use, contributing to its timeworn patina. Structurally sound and stable, it remains a delightful decorative accent for a garden, terrace, or interior space. A whimsical and collectible antique garden figure, ideal for adding a touch of French provincial charm. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Dimensions: 16"W x 8.5"D x 23.5"H
