Pair Of Carved And Gilded Eagles Italian Animalier Sculptures Mid-19th Century
About the Item
Pair Of Eagles In Carved And Gilded Wood from the mid-1800s, this pair of animalier carvings of birds of prey in carved and gilded wood represents a fascinating example of 19th-century Italian craftsmanship. The carved sculptures, made with great attention to detail, show finely carved plumage and leaf gilding that, although showing minimal signs of time, still retain a good state of preservation.
The presence of yellow Sienese earth for the top finish instead of gilding denotes that the two gilded figures were terminal decorative elements of a piece of furniture. The spread-wing pose of the eagles suggests a sense of movement and vitality, evoking their majestic nature and the symbolism of freedom and strength of this pair of animalier figures. The eagles' talons are firmly anchored to an ebonized base and rest on a small balustrade. In the backs of the two animal figures, two postern supports facilitated their anchoring. Coming from a private collection, these works also tell a story of Italian tradition and craftsmanship from the mid-nineteenth century. The measurements shown are for a single figure.
These sculptures are speditoe from Italy. Secondo la legislazione italiana vigente, qualsiasi opera d'arte creata oltre 50 anni fa richiede una licenza governativa per l'esportazione chiamata Belle Arti.
