Dolphin and Wave Sculpture Appraisal
Category: Decorative Sculpture
Description
A metal sculpture featuring a dolphin in a dynamic leaping pose above a stylized wave base. The sculpture exhibits a two-tone appearance with a darker patina finish on the main body of the dolphin and the wave, contrasted with polished golden-toned metal (likely brass or bronze) highlights on the fins, tail, and wave details. The base is roughly oval-shaped with swirling patterns.
Appraisal Report
The item is a decorative sculpture of a dolphin leaping from a wave. Based on visual inspection, it appears to be cast from a metal, likely bronze or a bronze-tone alloy, with varying patinas and polished areas. The style suggests it is a production piece rather than a unique artistic work. The appraisal value is based on typical market prices for decorative metal sculptures of this nature, assuming it is of standard quality and condition with no known artist or significant provenance. Without scale, weight, or maker's marks, a precise valuation is challenging. The estimated range reflects its likely status as a general decorative collectible or home decor item.
