Pivoting Carved Wood Gull on Marble Base

About the Item

A wonderful carved wood bird in flight mounted on a bronze arm painted black which attaches to a marble base. The person we acquired this sculpture from claimed that it belonged to her mother and that her mother had worked at the Lalique factory in France and acquired through work. It is not signed but is a work of exceptional beauty and grace. It rotates so that it can be configured in dozens of ways and enjoyed from various angles.
