Description
Add a classic West Coast accent to your interior with this vintage mid-century modern "Seagulls in Flight" duo sculpture designed by California artist John Perry. This is the highly desirable large-scale model, featuring two soaring seagulls gracefully balanced on slender wire rods above a substantial, dramatic organic burl wood base.
The birds are masterfully crafted from Perry's signature Pellucida compound, a proprietary resin specially formulated to emulate the delicate, matte finish of bisque porcelain while offering excellent durability. Because every base is a unique piece of natural burl wood, this sculpture is entirely one-of-a-kind, boasting deep, complex grain patterns and rich, warm tones that pair beautifully with organic modern, coastal chic, or curated eclectic interiors.
A quintessential piece of 1970s California art, this sculptural work brings a beautiful sense of motion and timeless coastal character to a console, fireplace mantel, or accent table.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Excellent vintage condition. The Pellucida resin seagulls show pristine white coloration without discoloration. Wires are securely mounted to both the birds and the base, offering a beautiful, kinetic balance. The natural burl wood base is structurally sound and retains its gorgeous, rich finish.
