Vintage Wood Carved Gazelle Figure. Measures about 8.25" in height by 4.25" long. Excellent condition.
Add a touch of organic Mid-Century Modern elegance to your space with this stunning hand-carved wooden gazelle. This vintage piece captures the fluid grace of the African antelope through a minimalist lens, emphasizing a sleek silhouette and refined proportions. Carved from a single piece of dense, high-quality hardwood, the figure showcases a beautiful natural grain that adds warmth and texture to its polished surface.
The design reflects the global influence of the 1950s and 60s, a period when hand-carved animal sculptures from East Africa and Scandinavia became highly sought-after staples of sophisticated "Bohemian" and "Atomic" home decor. Its compact size makes it an ideal accent for a floating shelf, a tiered plant stand, or as a sophisticated addition to a desk arrangement. This gazelle pairs beautifully with other natural materials like brass or stone and fits perfectly into a Dark Academia aesthetic when styled alongside vintage books and botanical prints. Its timeless, sculptural quality ensures it remains a striking conversation piece that celebrates both artisan craftsmanship and the beauty of the natural world.
