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 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...

Midcentury Hand Carved Alabaster Owl Sculpture Also Symbol for Wisdom & Learning
Located in Lisse, NL
Mint condition and beautifully handcarved alabaster owl sculpture. This incredibly well carved barn owl from the midcentury era clearly was well loved by it's previous owners, because after all those years it still is in magnificent condition. Owl sculptures of this period and especially of this size and material are very rare and to find one in perfect condition, truly felt like a blessing. All hand carved out of a snowy white alabaster this owl is even more beautiful, but have you also noticed how especially the back of the head and the wings of this stunning owl look extra detailed? This is because the master carver, whom created this unique owl, picked a rock of alabaster that would guarantee that the black veins that were in that spot of the rock would do exactly what they do at the back of this owl. The original and inlaid pair...
