• Body: Hand-carved in white calcite (or white onyx) with textured detailing simulating plumage.
• Crest and Tail: Application of contrasting green-toned mineral (green quartz / chrysocolla).
• Eyes: Insertion of mineral beads in reddish/orange tones.
• Beak: Dark polished mineral (probably black agate or jasper).
• Mounting: Feet in molded metal filament, anchored directly to the base.
• Base: Rough mineral matrix composed of a druse (aggregate) of colorless quartz crystals (transparent)
• Excellent overall condition. No fractures visible in the sculpted minerals or structural breaks in the base druse.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
