About the Item

Large, good condition and beautifully handcrafted & colored "snowy owl sculpture" by Otto Pech, 1904. This hand-crafted antique owl clearly was well loved by it's previous owners, because after all those years this relatively fragile sculpture still is in magnificent condition. Owl sculptures of this period and especially of this size are very rare and to find one in such great condition, again felt like a blessing. The very realistic look and feel and the beautiful shiny surface make this stunningly glazed owl sculpture stand out even more. During the day this glorious and meaningful table lamp is a work of fine art that is a joy to behold and with the light shining over it in the evenings this rare antique is even more impressive and decorative. Because of its deeper meaning (as the international symbol of wisdom and learning) this work of art is the ideal decorative piece on a desk or sideboard or shelve or bookcase of a student or a professor or anyone else having to do with teaching or learning or writing. This large and meaningful sculpture is a real eye catcher and we hope you (or its recipient) will get to enjoy it for many happy and healthy years to come. The lamp will arrive rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the country where it will go to. Mind you, our fair price for this rare and sizeable antique includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height including black shade x diameter: 23.5 x 13.5 inches. Height x diameter of the owl only: 17.2 x 8 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
