Lucky Scylla is both sculpture and homage—a sleek, marble vessel carved in tribute to Martin Cooney’s father and the ship he served aboard during World War II, the HMS Scylla. Fashioned from a long, elegant block of Colorado Yule Marble, its form evokes the clean lines of a warship hull, refined yet steadfast. Subtle veining and a luminous white finish lend the piece a sense of grace, while its deliberate weight and polish speak to endurance and purpose. It is, in Cooney’s words, “a humble tribute to a great, great warship,” and to the steadfast men who sailed her.
Though inspired by naval history, Lucky Scylla is also a deeply personal reflection—of legacy, memory, and resilience. Whether displayed as a luminous centerpiece or a quiet accent near a window or light source, the sculpture glows with quiet strength. Like the vessel it honors, it is built to endure, yet invites movement and wonder. With a polished interior sealed for function and a striking presence indoors or out, Lucky Scylla offers not just a visual focal point, but a narrative voyage—anchored in love, service, and history.
