9th Century Bronze Eagle Sculpture (bdw622)

19th century bronze eagle. This bronze eagle is very unique in shape – the detail is magnificent – every
feather is highly detailed with huge talon feet on a flowing branch. I believe this eagle was once part of
a podium/lectern. It has two spaces in the wings where obviously something was attached to it. The
surface patina is rich and wonderful. You can tell it has been assembled in sections as a lot of bronzes
of that time period were. It measures 45 ½” wide from tip to tip and 25” high @ highest point. There are
no makers or foundry marks found that I can see.

Antique Architectural Chinese Wood Carving Buddha (bdw1956)

Quite the interresting 19th century Chinese carving. This is a huge and solid piece! I believe it is either
part of a furniture item or a corbel – an architectural decoration. The construction is pretty interesting it
is mortise and tenon. The wood I don’t know – it is a rather light, hard wood. The subject as you can
see is of a very happy Buddha peeking through his frame. There is a lot of open work all around this
carving. The back side of this carving is open work with all over florals. The condition is very good!
There is nothing more I can tell you other than I saw it, it was stunning,...

better then any Blackmoor I have seen in my career.

Antique Carved Wood Mechanical Bear (bdw200.1L)

Here is a fabulous little carved black forest bear. He waves his arm up and down you know! As you can
see he is wonderfully carved and has a look of deep intelligence. His arm is attached to his body by a
thin metal rusted pin which is attached to a string that runs inside of his body and comes out the
bottom. When you pull on the string his arm will raise up and down. This is not a commercial carving
and the mechanics of it are quite charming. He appears to me to date from about the 1920’s or 1930’s.
He measures 5” high & 3” wide.

Tribal African Male Carved Wood Sculpture (bdw389)

An African Male Sculpture. This is a wonderful folk sculpture. I bought this probably twenty-five to thirty
years ago, in a huge collection of Asian and African art. I actual never wanted to sell it because I just
fell in love with him. He is in a great folk stance, playing a tribal drum. The carving is nice and mellow,
the surface patina is rich. His face definition is excellent; he has nice eyes, a well defined nose and
mouth with curly curly hair. This is an elegant statue. I suspect it dates from the early 1900’s. It is in
excellent condition.
