Details
The artistry of this early to mid-19th-century carved American eagle is spectacular. This striking life-sized eagle, with its swept-back wings, is poised majestically on a wooden orb, showcasing masterful craftsmanship from laminated pieces of pine. Faint traces of gilding add to its historical allure, while the evidence of an iron strap along the back hints at its original structural support. Likely originating from the top of a steamship pilothouse, this unique piece merges Americana with maritime heritage.
