1970s Vintage DeMott Copper & Enamel Red Doves Sculpture

Description

A rare and gorgeous small 1970s John DeMott sculpture of a flock of 11 red doves made of copper and enamel on a marble base. This is an exceptionally hard to find piece from the artist since most of his creations are sailboats and easily on of his most beautiful designs. The shape of the doves is very stylized and quintessentially mid century modern. Signed "DeMott" on the marble base. Would look great on an desk, table, dresser or credenza!
