American Arts & Crafts Sculpture of a Pelican, Circa 1910
About the Item
The unknown sculptor of this fine, gilded-mahogany pelican appears to have been influenced by the turn-of-the-century Symbolist movement in Europe. The breast feathers are subtly carved, and the webbed feet cling to an Ionic capital-inspired base. Two small cavities underneath suggest it was once mounted on a base, or as a finial on a piece of furniture.
