Sizable Mid-20th Century Carved Oak Owl, Rare and Symbol of Learning and Wisdom

About the Item

Rare and beautifully carved owl. This hand-carved owl is well loved by its previous owners and therefor it is still in magnificent condition. Owl sculptures of this period are rare and to find one in such great condition, was a blessing. This vintage and very decorative work of art has a beautiful patina and will look good on any desk or sideboard or shelve. This solid oak sculpture is a real eye catcher and I hope you will get to enjoy it for many years to come. Unfortunately the artist / carver has not put his signature on this work of art, but judging from the quality you can rest assure that he or she was no 'one day file'.
