1952 Brass Eagle Bookends by Virginia Metalcrafters
Located in San Diego, CA
Beautiful pair of brass spread-wing eagle bookends by Virginia Metalcrafters, stamped 1952. The eagle is shown with its wings fully spread and a laurel branch and bundle of arrows clutched in its left talon. The eagle clutches a Union shield across its breast. The Union shield has a chief with three stars and six stripes completing the design.
The eagle motif in décor and Folk Art has been widely used throughout our nation's history, most notably as part of our Great Seal. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent. On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States depicting a bald eagle grasping 13 arrows and an olive branch with its talons.
When Charles Thomson put together the final design for the Great Seal, he placed a bundle of arrows in the eagle's left (sinister) talon. The official description specifies the bald eagle holding "in his sinister a bundle of thirteen arrows." The thirteen arrows are tightly aligned – a symbol of "strength in unity" that's found in the traditional cultures everywhere, from the Romans to the Iroquois— in this case a nod to the unity of the original 13 colonies. William J. Loth founded Virginia Metalcrafters in 1890, under the name Waynesboro Stove Company. The company, which made ornately cast Cook...

This beautiful piece of solid wood carved by the craftsman has been carefully transformed into a table and patted in Bronze.
The superior part that can rest on his hands can be personalized and adapted - glass table top, marble table top, or even a scale right Globe if you wish.
The topic of the "Atlas sculpture" typically refers to statues or sculptures depicting Atlas, a figure from Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, Atlas was a Titan condemned by Zeus to bear the weight of the heavens on his shoulders for eternity. The punishment was a consequence of Atlas leading the Titans in their war against the Olympian gods.
The most famous representation of Atlas is often depicted as a muscular man carrying the celestial sphere on his shoulders. This image has been a popular subject in art and sculpture throughout history. Here are some key points in the history of Atlas sculptures:
Ancient Greek and Roman Art: The story of Atlas has been a popular theme in ancient Greek and Roman art. Sculptors often depicted Atlas as a strong and stoic figure holding the celestial sphere. These sculptures were created in various materials, including marble and bronze.
Renaissance and Baroque Periods: The themes of classical mythology experienced a revival during the Renaissance and Baroque periods in Europe. Artists like Michelangelo and Bernini incorporated Atlas and other mythological figures into their works. Atlas became a symbol of strength and endurance in these artistic representations.
18th and 19th Centuries: The neoclassical movement in the 18th and 19th centuries drew inspiration from classical Greek and Roman art. Atlas continued to be a popular subject during this period, with sculptors creating statues that emphasized the muscular and heroic qualities of the figure.
Modern and Contemporary Art: The Atlas motif has persisted into modern and contemporary art. Artists often reinterpret the theme, exploring different styles and materials. Some sculptures may be more abstract or symbolic, while others adhere closely to the traditional representation.
Public Art and Monuments: Atlas sculptures can be found in various public spaces around the world. Some cities have iconic statues of Atlas displayed...

Antique, New and Vintage Figurative Sculptures
Figurative sculpture is a modern art form in which artists create work that is typically representative of the visible world. However, sculptures that are considered to be figurative in style can definitely be inclusive of abstract elements. A wide range of antique, new and vintage figurative sculptures has been made over the years by both well-known and emerging artists, and these pieces can prove striking and provocative as part of your home decor.
Realistic representation in visual art has a very long history. And while figurative artists, whether figurative painters or sculptors, find inspiration in humans, animals and real-life objects, good figurative sculptures can make us think differently about how the real world should look. Just as figurative paintings might include Photorealistic human likenesses, they can also include elements of Surrealism and can suggest a creative and alternative reality. Figurative sculptures aren’t always realistic impressions of our world — depictions of the human form in classical Greek sculpture, for example, might emphasize beauty and physical perfection.
There are a variety of figurative sculptures on 1stDibs created by artists working in a number of styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, mid-century modern and more. A large figurative sculpture can introduce an excellent focal point in a guest bedroom, while smaller works might draw the eye to spaces such as wall shelving or a bookcase that people may otherwise overlook.
When decorating your living room, dining room, home office and study areas with figurative sculptures, don’t be afraid to choose bold colors to inject brightness into neutral spaces. Texture is another factor to consider when purchasing figurative sculptures. A highly textural work of ceramics or wood will catch the eye in a sleek modern space, whereas a smooth, flat glass sculpture can offer an often much-needed contrast in a room that already has many textures.
On 1stDibs, find antique, new or vintage figurative sculpture or other kinds of sculpture for your home decor today.
