Pair of Hand Carved Clear Rock-Crystal Quartz Parrots on Silver-Gilt Bases

About the Item

A beautiful pair of hand carved and hand-polished clear rock-crystal quartz parrots on silver-gilt bases. Each is beautifully hand carved and further hand-polished with meticulous detail and craftsmanship. Each parrot is naturalistically resting on a tree trunk. The parrots wings consist of an exuberant amount of detail, with each wing and body carved to imitate feathers raised on its back. These were both carved from a very large solid piece of rock crystal of very high quality. It is very difficult to find large pieces of rock crystal of this size and clarity. The bases are silvered carved wood. France, circa 1900-1920.
