The beauty and history of Decorative Objects brought to you by {name}.


Elena Napoleone

O objeto em questão é um mealheiro mecânico em ferro fundido, de estilo vitoriano, representando uma águia (ou ave de rapina) a alimentar os filhotes no ninho. Este tipo de peça foi muito popular nos Estados Unidos e Europa entre o final do século XIX e início do século XX, tanto como brinquedo educativo como decoração.

Características principais:
	•	Material: Ferro fundido com pintura policromada original.
	•	Mecanismo: funcional — ao acionar uma alavanca, a ave baixa a cabeça como se estivesse a alimentar os filhotes (com a moeda inserida), num movimento mecânico comum a mealheiros animados da época.
	•	Temática: Naturalista, focada na vida selvagem — uma águia-mãe no seu ninho, alimentando os filhotes.
	•	Função: Mealheiro (coin bank) — a ranhura para introdução da moeda está visível junto aos filhotes.
	•	Época provável: Finais do século XIX a início do século XX (c. 1880–1910), podendo ser original ou uma reprodução antiga.
