Vintage cat fish catchall in brass on a solid wood base.

Some pieces intrigue at first glance. This is the case with this surprising brass cat with a fish tail, resting on its solid wood base. Halfway between a decorative sculpture and a curiosity, it seems to have come straight from a whimsical universe where the boundaries between land and sea no longer exist. Its mischievous expression, stylised lines, and beautiful golden patina give it a unique presence. A piece that leaves no one indifferent and immediately draws the eye on a console, a bookshelf, or a desk. An uncommon decorative piece. Objects representing animals were particularly appreciated in interiors from the 1960s to the 1980s. However, models combining several creatures in a single sculpture remain much rarer. This cat-fish has a true personality. Its tray can hold a few pieces of jewellery, keys, or small everyday objects, but it can just as well be displayed as a decorative sculpture in its own right. Between vintage curiosity and cabinet sculpture, with its solid wood base and beautifully patinated brass, this piece evokes the spirit of curiosity cabinets and decorative objects that are kept as much for their aesthetics as for their evocative power. An original item for cat lovers, collectors of unusual objects, or simply those who appreciate pieces that are not commonly found everywhere. Condition: Very good vintage condition. Natural patina of the brass contributing to the charm of the object. Slight signs of age consistent with its history. Length: 18 cm. Width: 9 cm. Weight: 490 g. Material: brass and solid wood.
