Antique Carved Giltwood Eagle Statue
About the Item
This carved giltwood eagle statue is portrayed with outstretched wings and legs pulled up as though just landing upon something. There is a wooden peg on the bottom of the statue indicating it was formerly pegged as ornamentation onto a much larger structure at one time (19th century). The front of the body, its head and the wings are completely detailed. The back is left relatively plain except for the back of the upper neck and head, which is carved and gilded. An attachment is on the back for easy wall hanging. Generally, eagles symbolized strength, immortality, and courage. They were one of the most popular birds used in ornamentation since antiquity.

- Wide Antique Carved Wooden Eagle from France, Circa 1810Located in Dallas, TXWith a wingspan of five and a half feet wide, this wooden eagle has a commanding presence. Hand-carved in France, circa 1810, the eagle was crafted by a master-level woodworker. Notice how each feather has been carved with incredible detail, showing slight separations in the barbs that make up feathers. The eagle is presented with wings displayed, as if in the midst of flight. Both legs are tucked under the body, as you might see on a gliding bird. The beak is open with a large hole that runs through to the back side, possibly indicating that at one time the eagle held something in its mouth. When Napoleon became Emperor of the French in 1804, he brought about a striking shift in artwork and architecture, embracing the styles of ancient empires...Category
