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...

Exquisite Mounted 9" Fossilized Ammonite Pair from Madagascar
Located in New York, NY
This striking pair of fossilized ammonites, meticulously mined from the rich deposits of Madagascar, have been expertly split and polished to reveal the intricate internal structure of these ancient marine creatures. The polished cross-sections showcase the beautiful and complex chambers, septa, and siphuncle, which not only provide a window into the past but also offer an exceptional aesthetic appeal. Mounted on sleek black stands, these ammonites are more than just scientific specimens; they are captivating pieces of natural art that demand to be displayed prominently, where their natural beauty can be fully appreciated.
Ammonites were marine cephalopods, closely related to modern-day squid and octopus, with their distinctive spiral shells allowing them to swim horizontally through ancient oceans. They had the ability to adjust their buoyancy, enabling them to move vertically in the water column...

Antique, New and Vintage Natural Specimens
Natural specimens turn things found in nature, such as rocks, crystals and timber, into art. Sometimes these specimens are hand-carved into sculptures. Other times, antique, new and vintage natural specimens themselves are best displayed in their most untouched state. These pieces range from Victorian-era objects to modern-day designs and include everything from sculptures made from animal horns to works in wood, either as sculptures or merely imposing and provocative chunks of driftwood.
Natural specimens serve as compelling decor in any collection or home. Just as any curious decorative object, such as an ancient scientific instrument or taxidermy mount, will draw attention to your carefully curated home library or mantel, natural specimens can spark interesting discussions about life and art. Whether it’s a piece of ancient pottery formed from natural clay, plants sculpted from metal, sculptures of animals or antique stone, they grant a window into all of nature’s wonders.
Natural specimen sculptures can complement many aesthetics. A rare geode makes a stunning centerpiece in a study or living room. Crystals and rock crystal spheres carved in the 1970s add a sense of etherealness and quiet beauty to any space.
Whatever your taste, the selection of antique, new and vintage natural specimens on 1stDibs includes precisely the right piece for your space.
