"XXL" brass snail – Germany, 1970s

Imposing decorative snail made of solid brass, German production from the 1970s. This piece stands out for its generous size (approximately 20 cm) and the quality of its sculptural work: finely striated spiral shell, solid volumes, and fluid lines offering both a naturalistic and stylised interpretation. The presence of the original label "Massiv Messing" under the base attests to the use of solid brass, a material highly valued in West German decorative productions of this period. An emblematic decorative object of 70s interiors, this snail will easily find its place on a bookshelf, console, or desk, as a sculptural piece in its own right.
