Sculpture, L’aigle - 25 cm - Faience

This is a powerful statement piece that will easily appeal to collectors of vintage animal art and Art Deco style design. This imposing ceramic sculpture depicts a majestic eagle with its wings fully spread, perched defensively atop a rocky tree stump. The artwork stands out instantly due to its high quality flamed and running glaze, masterfully blending deep chocolate brown, caramel, and cream tones to add striking depth to the feathers and textures. Although unsigned, this Belgian or Northern French style earthenware piece features a number two painted in red on its hollow underside, a workshop mark characteristic of the era. Weighing a substantial 2250 grams, standing 25 centimeters tall, with a width of approximately 27 centimeters and a depth of roughly 20 centimeters, this bird of prey is bound to catch everyone's eye, making it an ideal centerpiece, just make sure to place it away from breezy corners to protect its wingspan. The sculpture is in excellent vintage condition. It has traveled through the decades while beautifully keeping its original brilliance, showing only very minor and discreet surface wear consistent with age, with no chips or cracks to report. Shipping will be handled with professional care, using a heavily reinforced packaging specifically designed to protect the bird's weight and complex wing structure during transit.
