About the Item
Large silver, quartz and glass model of an owl attributed to Asprey
Swiss, c. 1975
Height 71cm, width 28cm, depth 30cm
This exceptional owl sculpture, crafted around 1975, is attributed to the esteemed luxury brand Asprey. With a rich heritage of creating refined, high-end pieces, the company is renowned for its masterful craftsmanship. This stunning sculpture is a testament to their expertise, seamlessly blending artistry with opulent materials.
A carefully selected array of precious materials brings this owl to life. Its entire body is adorned with quartz crystals in varying shapes and sizes, creating a wonderful texture. Larger crystal pieces form the head, imitating the layered effect of ruffled feathers, while also accentuating the legs. Smaller quartz elements embellish the torso and the underside of the wings—areas that may not be immediately visible but still showcase the meticulous attention to detail that defines Asprey’s work. The folded wings are crafted from intricately arranged, finely sculpted silver segments, with a polished surface finish that superbly mimics the soft texture of real feathers. Extending from the legs, the bird’s powerful, curved talons are strikingly lifelike.
One of the most captivating aspects of this sculpture is its expressive face. Fashioned from gilded silver, the face is intricately worked to portray realistic textures. The owl’s piercing red glass eyes stand out vividly against the white quartz, drawing the observer in with their mesmerising gaze.
Elegantly poised atop a richly textured wooden base, the owl appears as though perched in its natural surroundings, enhancing its lifelike presence.
A remarkable fusion of fine craftsmanship and luxurious materials, this striking sculpture makes an extraordinary statement piece.
