Description :
Striking mid‑century carved wood butterfly by Briggs, known for producing sculptural wall décor in the 1950s–60s that blended organic form with modernist simplicity. This example features deeply carved, vein‑like wing patterning that mimics natural butterfly structure while maintaining the clean, stylized geometry characteristic of mid‑century design. The warm wood grain enhances the sculptural surface, and the piece retains its original curled metal antennae—an iconic Briggs detail. Large in scale and visually commanding, it embodies the era’s fascination with nature‑inspired forms rendered through modern craftsmanship. A quintessential mid‑century decorative object with strong wall presence and collectible appeal. Unsigned.
Dimensions : 25 in W x 32 in H
