Antique, Rare and Large Hand Carved Black Forest Flying Eagle Pendant Chandelier

About the Item

A stunning, four-light eagle pendant for the collectors of only the rarest Black Forest antiques. If you are a serious and lifelong collector of Black Forest antiques or even if you are the curator of a museum owning rare Black Forest pieces then the chance of you owning a large Black Forest chandelier like this still is very small. This, over three feet wide, eagle chandelier is the kind of Black Forest antique that you normally only find in books. For us to have been given the opportunity to purchase it from a German family of (former) nobles was an honor. The older lady we purchased it from had known it all her life, but she was moving to a much smaller home and she had no family members interested in antiques. This majestic eagle with both claws is holding a perfectly hand carved branch and from each of the four side branches grows a hand crafted, blackened metal, flower lampshade. The large size of this eagle, his perfect body posture, his excellent and warm patina and the great details really make this well balanced sculpture a marvelous antique to own, to use and to look at. The way in which this fierce predator is sticking out its neck and scanning the area with its piercing eyes is something that only a true master carver is capable of creating. To us, this unique and sculptural Black Forest chandelier is the perfect center piece for a hunting lodge or for a Black Forest collector's 'treasure trove' or 'inner sanctum'. We can also see it grace the entry hall of a museum. If you can imagine how this work of art chandelier would look over your large antique desk in your (home) office then you too could be the right custodian for it. No matter where you decide to use and enjoy this remarkable antique, it will never fail to impress. Apart from a few truly minor imperfections to one or two of the wingtips, this Black Forest antique could not be in a better condition. We have not found a maker's signature, but there only have been a handful of top quality makers/carvers that would have been capable of creating a piece of this size and with this level of detail. In other words, this can only be the work of a master carver. We believe this entire sculpture is hand carved out of patinated basswood and we have no idea how the stunning, alternating light and dark brown color patterns that you can see in the feathers/wings were created. Have you also noticed the original and perfect glass eyes? They seem to follow you around no matter from which angle you look at this amazing eagle. Mind you, this one of a kind, four light chandelier will arrive rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the country where it will go to. Thanks to the metal hook inside the height adjustable antique brass canopy, safely mounting this work of beauty tight to your ceiling is child's play. So if you are a collector of rare antiques in general and/or of majestic Black Forest eagles in particular then this one of a kind pendant could be flying your way soon. Our price for this one of a kind antique includes perfect packing (in a custom made and strengthened box) and also worldwide delivery from store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum width x depth x height (as in our photos): 38.6 x 23.6 x 24.2 inches. Height of this majestic eagle without the chain and canopy: 9.85 inches. Thanks to the bronzed chain we can also change the drop to one that is perfect for you. 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'.
