Story
Post-war suburban life transformed the backyard into an 'outdoor room,' sparking a massive demand for decorative cast stone that moved away from ornate Victorian styles toward cleaner, more modern silhouettes.
Maker / Origin
While often produced by prolific workshops like Henri Studio or regional cast-stone companies, these designs were frequently unsigned to allow them to blend into architectural settings.
Condition & Value
The piece shows visible chipping on the tips of both ears and some minor losses around the base and paws. Value is driven by the popular Mid-Century Modern aesthetic and the enduring appeal of cat-themed decor.
