Large Majestic & Lifelike Antique Alabaster Bald Eagle Sculpture w. Glass Eyes
Located in Lisse, NL
Magnificent hand-carved eagle on a rock sculpture. Most people are not capable of drawing a picture of an eagle, but this artist has sculpted a majestic and lifelike eagle out of a single rock of alabaster. That, to us, is amazing and it takes a truly gifted artisan. This beautifully hand carved eagle has exactly the strong and streamlined frame, the sharp eyes and the strong claws that this born predator needs in order to survive and prosper. This born hunter is a joy to watch. We date this marvelous eagle to around 1890-1900 and this life-like and very alert eagle is in excellent condition. The sculptor could not have picked a better rock of alabaster, because the many lines in this striking mineral stone are like the many small feathers that together make the 'fur' and wings of this majestic eagle. This alert eagle clearly just heard or saw something happening on the right of him, because his senses are clearly heightened and he looks ready to take off any second. Not only is this one of the most realistic eagle sculptures, it also has the best polished surface we have ever seen. From the tiny holes that you can see in the base (in image 14) it is clear that there would have been an antique brass...

Donald Duck Cast Iron Stop/Enter Doorstop by Walt Disney Productions, 1971
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Donald Duck Cast Iron Stop/Enter Doorstop by Walt Disney Productions, 1971  Signed by Walt Disney Productions, 1971  A rare and authentic 1971 Walt Disney Productions Donald Duck Cast Iron Stop/Enter Doorstop is a collector's gem. Measuring inches high, 5 inches wide, and 3 inches deep, this unique piece features Donald Duck in his classic sailor shirt, cap, and bow tie, holding a movable and removable 2-inch diameter green "Enter" and red "Stop" sign. Due to patent infringements, only a limited number of these doorstops were produced, as Disney had not granted permission for their creation, making original pieces like this highly sought-after. Unlike the numerous "knock-offs" on the market, this doorstop is guaranteed to be original, complete with its authentic sign. It remains in near-mint condition, with the paint still brightly colored, showcasing the high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of Disney products. This doorstop not only serves a practical function but also stands as a delightful piece of Disney memorabilia...

Vintage, Mid-Century, Contemporary and Antique Animal Sculptures

Invite the untamed wonders of the animal kingdom into your home — and do so safely — with the antique, new and vintage animal sculptures available on 1stDibs.

Artists working in every medium from furniture design to jewelry to painting have found inspiration in wild animals over the years. For sculptors, three-dimensional animal renderings — both realistic and symbolic — crisscross history and continents. In as early as 210 B.C., intricately detailed terracotta horses guarded early Chinese tombs, while North America’s native Inuit tribes living in the ice-covered Arctic during the 1800’s wore small animal figurines carved from walrus ivory. Indeed, animal sculpture has a long history, and beginning in the 19th century, the art form started becoming not only fashionable but artistically validated — a trend that continues today. At home, animal sculptures — polished bronze rhinos crafted in the Art Deco style or ceramic dogs of the mid-century modern era — can introduce both playfulness and drama to your decor.

In the case of the frosted glass sculptures crafted by artisans at legendary French glassmaker Lalique, founded by jeweler and glass artist René Lalique, some animal sculptures are purely decorative. With their meticulously groomed horse manes and detailed contours of their parakeet feathers, these creatures want to be proudly displayed. Adding animal sculptures to your bookcases can draw attention to your covetable collection of vintage monographs, while side tables and wall shelving also make great habitats for these ornamental animal figurines.

Some sculptures, however, can find suitable nests in just about any corner of your space. Whimsical brass flamingos or the violent, realist bronze lions created by Parisian sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye are provocative and versatile pieces that can rest on windowsills or your desk. Otherwise, the brass cat shoehorns and bronze porcupine ashtrays designed by Viennese artist Walter Bosse are no longer roaming aimlessly throughout your living room, as they’ve found a purpose to serve.

Embark on your safari today and find a fascinating collection of vintage, modern and antique animal sculptures on 1stDibs.
