A pair of silver-plated animal sculptures designed by Gunnar Cyrén as part of his Silver Zoo collection for Dansk in the 1970s. Made from cast zinc with a polished silver-plated finish, this set includes a giraffe and an antelope. Both have a solid, weighty feel and feature a distinctive stylised shape typical of Scandinavian design from this period.
They make great decorative pieces and work well together or displayed separately.
