Pair of Gunnar Flørning Pelicans for Laurids Lønborg 50s

Very rare pair of pelicans designed by Gunnar Flørning in 1959 after visiting the zoo with his daughter. She was so fascinated by the pelicans that he started to make sketches of them. 

The pelicans became part of a wooden animal series for the Danish manufacturer Laurids Lønborg. 

These two are made of solid beech wood, partly black lacquered. 
The small pelican is extremely hard to find!
