Brutalist Torch-Cut Metal Owl Sculpture







Brutalist Torch-Cut Metal Owl Sculpture
Nocturnal authority…
This Brutalist owl doesn’t perch politely. Built from torch-cut metal fragments welded into a dense, armored body, it balances watchful intelligence with industrial grit. The oversized eyes lock in first, followed by the rhythmic, slightly aggressive layering of the metal feathers. There’s folk symbolism here, yes, but filtered through a workshop

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
