About the Item

In addition to the professional photos here, I have added some "home made" ones that I think better show off the exquisite character of the wood the artist used to create this large, elegant swan. I am guessing he or she began with this beautiful piece of hardwood and decided the shape lent itself to a swan, perhaps due to a branch extending from the main body of the wood - and went from there. Note that this is a large sculpture and not a bauble for the mantel - it measures 30" and weighs nearly 40 pounds - a big showpiece! I bought it in New Orleans and wouldn't be surprised if the artist were French Cajun (the last name Mille would fit) working with wood from the Louisiana swamps. But I have been unable to find out more about the artist, sadly. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee.

A tabletop-sized solid bronze casting of Michelangelo's "Winged David", on a solid marble base. You can see his giant-killer sling "slung" over his shoulder. Fine detail. This came out of a collection of neoclassical grand tour souvenirs, owned by collector Daniel Glaser of New Orleans, Louisiana (from his estate). Back in the day, wealthy travelers in Europe often purchased sculptures and other mementos of the sites they visited. We have several other pieces from this collection in addition to this, including "Discobolus" and a fine gladiator with lance. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art...
