Antique Copper Fish on Iron Base

A striking sculptural fish executed in hand-formed copper, richly patinated with layered verdigris, deep teal, and warm umber tones that have developed organically over time. The fish is rendered in a stylized yet naturalistic form, with finely worked scale detailing, articulated fins, and a subtly contoured body that conveys movement and weight. The surface displays a beautifully varied patina, ranging from oxidized turquoise and sea-green hues to darker bronze undertones, with areas of natural wear that enhance its character and sculptural presence. The piece is mounted on a minimalist iron base with vertical supports, providing contrast and stability while allowing the copper form to remain the focal point.
