1950s Concrete Weathered Dove Garden Ornament - 16¼"

A charming antique garden ornament in the form of a dove, captured mid-landing with wings raised and the body slightly tilted. Crafted in concrete, the piece has developed a beautifully timeworn patina over decades outdoor. Layers of lichen, moss, and soft mineral deposits give it a poetic, sculptural quality. Remnants of paint are present on the legs, beak, and eyes, suggesting the piece was originally painted to give it a more lifelike appearance. The paint has now mostly worn away, contributing to its current weathered charm. The bird stands on a naturalistic base, its delicate metal legs adding a sense of lightness to the otherwise solid material. An evocative piece that would make a lovely addition to a garden setting, conservatory, or interior vignette, bringing a touch of quiet charm and a sense of history. Condition and wear consistent with age and use. Approx. overall 16¼" high x 9" long x 9" wide Approx. overall 41cm high x 23cm long x 23cm wide
