About the Item
Large size, great condition and beautifully hand-crafted Italian white alabaster owl with lifelike glass eyes and beautifully black veined alabaster stone detail.
This early 20th-century Arts & Crafts era sculpture captures the timeless allure of the owl, masterfully hand-carved from richly veined alabaster. Created by an Italian artist, the owl stands proudly atop a rugged rock, gazing forward with a serene and wise expression. The careful casting and polished finish highlight the natural beauty of the alabaster, its delicate veining adding a sense of movement and life to the piece. Particularly striking are the owl’s glass eyes, which lend the sculpture an intense, almost soulful presence—an exquisite example of skilled craftsmanship that emphasizes the owl’s traditional symbolism of wisdom, knowledge, and protection.
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 2 to 5 days.
This beautifully balanced sculpture measures 14.1 inches in height, 4.2 inches in width, and 5.1 inches in depth.
We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past. Every purchase is carefully and thoughtfully packed — and we look forward to serving you (again).
