Large Majestic & Lifelike Antique Alabaster Bald Eagle Sculpture w. Glass Eyes
About the Item
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 plaque there. One that would have shown the name of the sculptor. Unfortunaley, at some point in time, it has fallen off. However, from the size, the design and the naturalistic quality of this antique, we are certain this can only be the work of a master carver. A far more knowledgable dealer ones taught us that a good sculpture looks great from every angle and this work of beauty certainly fits that bill. No matter where you decide to have this eagle on display, it will never fail to impress and it will make people want to stop, look at and study its beauty and unsurpassed workmanship.
