About the Item

Bronze Bird’s Nest with Eggs by Scott Nelles, 1985 — A finely crafted bronze sculpture depicting a realistic bird’s nest cradling three smooth bronze eggs, each removable from the nest. Signed and dated “Nelles 1985,” this work showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of American sculptor Scott Nelles, known for his cast bronze pieces inspired by nature and organic forms. The nest’s detailed texture and rich patina contrast beautifully with the softly polished eggs, creating a warm, tactile composition. A charming example of Nelles’ artistry, blending whimsical subject matter with exceptional foundry skill.
