About the Item

A 20th-century Giltwood Eagle with Silver Gilt Hare on an Ebonised and Gilt Fluted Column. In History, the Eagle is often depicted for its power, a symbol of strength and freedom, as shown here in this striking gilded piece. The eagle has gracefully swooped down to capture a hapless hare in its talons, its sharp eyes focused. The hare, caught off guard, is frozen in fear as the eagle has closed in. The contrast between the eagle's power and the hare's vulnerability is a powerful reminder of the natural world's delicate balance. The piece highlights the exceptional quality of both the carving and gilding. The Eagle with spread wings, perched on ebonised rocks, with a hare trapped below, raised on a matching gilded and ebonsided column with silver gilt detailing.
