Sculptures
This set of five brass egg sculptures, produced by Galleri Scandia in Sweden during the 1970s, is a refined example of Scandinavian mid-century decorative art. Each sculpture is crafted from polished brass, showcasing smoothly rounded, organically asymmetrical forms that vary subtly in size and shape, adding visual interest and rhythm to the collection.
The eggs are mounted on black lacquered wooden bases with a clean cubic form, providing a geometric contrast to the soft curves of the brass shapes. The reflective brass surfaces display a natural patina and slight surface variations consistent with age, enhancing the tactile and visual depth of the sculptures.
Galleri Scandia was recognized for producing high-quality art objects and decorative items that embraced modernist simplicity combined with skilled craftsmanship. This set exemplifies their dedication to creating sculptural and elegant pieces suitable for both display and interior decoration.
The largest sculpture measures 12.5 cm in width and depth, and 20.5 cm in height (4.9 x 4.9 x 8.1 inches). The set remains in good vintage condition, with patina and minor wear that contribute to its authentic mid-century character.
