Handcrafted Thick Sheet Metal Folk Art Chopper / Army Helicopter Model Pendant

About the Item

Ultimate man cave decoration that could also be turned into a light fixture. This perfect size and all-handcrafted model helicopter was made on one of Holland's airbases. It is a one-of-a-kind that was made somewhere in the second half of the 20th century. Because it is created out of bare sheet metal, it has this extra authentic and rough and tough look about it. You can rotate the blades with your hand so that you can choose the perfect position for them. It is also good to know that for safe packing and shipping purposes, the blades can also be taken out (see image 11). It looks great both on a table or mounted on your ceiling and when used as such you could also turn it into a light fixture. No matter how you use and display this cool aviation rarity, it will never fail to impress. It is an absolute joy to own and look at and again great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary. Maximum length x height without the chains: 28.3 x 10.6 inches. Diameter of the rotor blades: 25.6 inches. Maximum height (or drop) with current chain hanging from the ceiling: 30.3 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

  • Stunning Handcrafted Late 1800s Gothic Casket with Peacock & Gargoyle Sculptures
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Beautiful and rare Gothic Revival treasure box with bronze handle. If you are a collector of antique boxes and/or if you are looking for an extraordinary jewelry box to grace your credenza or side table then this unique and top quality made specimen in the Gothic style could be perfect. Gothic Revival boxes are very hard to find and we have never seen one with such prodigious carvings on all sides. The unique and cat-like dragon gargoyles (with fangs) that look like they are carrying this casket, are just some of the stunningly carved and detailed sculptures that make this antique rarity even more artistic and impressive. Another great feature are the peacock sculptures. In Christianity the peacock is the symbol of purity. Christians believe that once someone has passed their soul rises and goes to heaven. This is why in earlier times Christians would spread the feathers of a peacock over the deceased since it symbolized a pure soul that was immune to corruption. The peacock also represents immortality, resurrection, and the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian church. Have you also noticed the top quality details on both ends of the bronze handle on top? The quality of that ornamental work is of the absolute highest standard also. There are many more incredibly beautiful, hand carved details and together they show that no expense was spared to create one of the most amazing Gothic caskets...
