Art Deco Icarus Bronze Sculpture, 43.7 cm

Icarus is one of those subjects that needs movement, and this Art Deco interpretation has plenty of it. The broad wings create a strong horizontal line while the figure keeps the composition light and upward-looking.

At 43.7 cm high and 45.6 cm wide, the sculpture is large enough to become the centre of a console, desk or bookcase without demanding the space of a floor sculpture. The combination of a classical myth and crisp Art Deco geometry makes it particularly easy to place in interiors that mix old references with cleaner contemporary lines.

It works best with some breathing room around it. Give the wings space, keep the surrounding objects restrained, and Icarus does the rest.
