The eagle’s talons grip a round ball stand, also in brass, that is mounted on a heavy iron rectangular base. The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The eagle motif has been widely used throughout American history, most notably as part of our Great Seal.

This is a beautiful, matched pair of decorative brass pheasants. With finely detailed feathers and angled heads, this is an expressive pair of birds. The bird sit very well together, with their distinctive long tails stretching out behind them. Throughout the late 1800s, pheasants motifs could be found on elaborate English and American china patterns, tapestries, and silver pieces. This fascination with pheasants came from the long-standing tradition of pheasant hunting, which was a popular group activity on English estates and country homes. Decorative silver and bronze statuettes modeled as birds or scenes of fox hunting, for example, would have been displayed in a home to represent a homeowner's participation in the sport or hobby. Although made in the 20th century, this pheasant pair...

Presented is an original bronze Western wildlife sculpture by American artist Mark Hopkins. The bronze is titled “Instinct” and depicts two expertly sculpted wolf heads. Using the involved and lengthy method of lost-wax casting, “Instinct” captures the intensity of the wolves’ focused, expressive gazes. Stacked and connected, the sculpture expertly plays with negative space and scale, as a rocky base twists and flows into the chest of the first wolf. The bronze is signed and dated in the mold to the back of one of the wolves. Artist Mark Hopkins (American, b. 1965 ) is inspired by the majesty of wildlife and mankind's interaction with nature. He creates limited-edition bronzes that evoke “a sense of awe and respect for the mysteries and loveliness of the world around us.” A master of the lost-wax casting tradition, Hopkins’ bronzes have been called “bronze in motion” for their fluid look, which often appears to display natural beauty in defiance of gravity. Captivated by form and design, Mark has created a signature sculpting style resulting from decades of study. Encouraged by parents and teachers from an early age, Mark's unique talent developed alongside his technical skills of sculpting and casting. As an artist, Mark is constantly challenging himself to render the rich beauty of life and the deep emotion of the human soul into flowing sculptural form, noting "I strive to express beyond the image, to catch spirit, to reveal deeper emotions, and to share joy." Collectors of his work include Barbara Mandrell, Clint Eastwood, Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, George and Barbara Bush and a host of other luminaries and corporations including the National League Association of Baseball Club Owners, the Atlanta National Golf Club, Humana, Coca-Cola and others.
