Antique Large & Impressive Alabaster Harpy Eagle Sculpture with Spreads Wings
About the Item
Magnificent alabaster sculpture of what we believe is the Harpy eagle.
Carving anything even remotely realistic out of a mineral stone rock like alabaster for almost everyone in the world is extremely difficult, if not impossible. However, in the first quarter of the 20th century there still were a few artisans capable of creating truly amazing sculptures and this is one of the largest bird sculptures that we ever had the pleasure of offering. This majestic and lifelike eagle is entirely hand carved out of one large rock of alabaster. This, to us, is simply amazing and it takes a truly gifted artisan to be able to create such a work of art. If the artisan would still be alive, then he would probably tell you that this eagle was captured in the rock already and that he only had to free it. We think this is the Harpy eagle, the artisan made sure this sculpture too was large and impressive. This remarkably sculpted specimen has exactly the mean and sharp eyes and the claws that this born scavenger needs in order to survive and prosper. We date this marvelous sculpture from 1900/1920 and it is in excellent condition.

View AllLarge Majestic & Lifelike Antique Alabaster Bald Eagle Sculpture w. Glass Eyes
Located in Lisse, NL
Magnificent hand-carved eagle on a rock sculpture.
Most people are not capable of drawing a picture of an eagle, but this artist has sculpted a majestic and lifelike eagle out of a single rock of alabaster. That, to us, is amazing and it takes a truly gifted artisan. This beautifully hand carved eagle has exactly the strong and streamlined frame, the sharp eyes and the strong claws that this born predator needs in order to survive and prosper. This born hunter is a joy to watch. We date this marvelous eagle to around 1890-1900 and this life-like and very alert eagle is in excellent condition. The sculptor could not have picked a better rock of alabaster, because the many lines in this striking mineral stone are like the many small feathers that together make the 'fur' and wings of this majestic eagle. This eagle clearly just heard or saw something happening on the right of him, because his senses are clearly heightened and he looks ready to take off any second. Not only is this one of the most realistic eagle sculptures, it also has the best polished surface we have ever seen. From the tiny holes that you can see in the base (in image 14) it is clear that there would have been an antique brass...
