Description
Bring a splash of color and charm to your space with this whimsical 1980s French papier-mache toucan. Standing an impressive 23 inches tall, this hand-crafted tropical bird flaunts a vibrant beak and bold plumage rendered in jet black, canary yellow, and a sunburst of orange-all with a glossy finish that adds extra personality.
Crafted in France this decorative objet features charmingly exaggerated proportions and expressive painted details that echo the playful spirit of Fornasetti, the exotic stylings of Maison Jansen tropicalia, or the theatricality of Jacques Duval-Brasseur's menagerie.
Whether perched on a bar cart, mounted on the wall, or hanging from the ceiling via its discreet top loop, this joyful sculpture makes a statement in eclectic interiors, tiki lounges, children's rooms, or maximalist collections.
