An exceptional  piece of Danish Art Deco history: a Just Andersen Disko Metal Fish sculpture, designed and produced during a single year in 1933.
 
This piece serves as both a sculptural object and a small stylized vase. It is cast in Just Andersen's proprietary Disko Metal, an alloy he invented to mimic the deep, lustrous patina of ancient bronze. The fish motif is a classic example of the Danish art deco period, known for its elegant lines and sophisticated simplicity.
 
Just Andersen (1884-1943) was one of the most celebrated metal artists of the early 20th century, with exclusive shops in London, New York, and Berlin. This specific model, number 1518, is a verified period piece and a cornerstone for any high-end metalware collection.
