Overview

A highly detailed wildlife figurine designed to mimic the texture and warmth of hand-carved wood.

Story

By 1979, the North American home was undergoing a 'rustic revolution,' trading the chrome of the 60s for the earthy tones of the 70s.

Maker / Origin

Bruno DeSantis was a skilled sculptor who became a primary designer for the 'Relic Art' line, specializing in capturing the organic essence of wildlife.

Condition & Value

The piece appears to be in excellent vintage condition with the original felt bottom and foil manufacturer's label intact. While these were mass-produced, the presence of the original Coppercraft Guild sticker and the clear Bruno DeSantis signature makes this a complete and desirable example…
