Mexican Ceramic Art of Parakeets in Egg Hatching in Bustamante Style 1980
Located in Moreno Valley, CA
Whimsical Vintage Mexican Ceramic Sculpture of Parakeets Hatching from Egg, in the Style of Sergio Bustamante, Circa 1980s
A large, fantastical ceramic sculpture depicting a group of vividly colored parakeets emerging from a cracked egg.
This imaginative and surreal piece draws strong stylistic inspiration from the work of celebrated Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante, known for his whimsical and surreal interpretations of nature and mythology in ceramic, papier-mâché, bronze, and wood.
Hand-sculpted and hand-painted in Mexico in the 1980s, the sculpture captures a moment of animated emergence, with lifelike parakeets rendered in rich, saturated hues and finely detailed textures. The surface features carefully painted cracks and openings that heighten the illusion of the birds hatching from within the egg. This clay-based ceramic piece is bursting with character and movement, making it a striking example of Mexican folk-inspired surrealism.
Unsigned by the artist, yet clearly created by a skilled hand, this one-of-a-kind piece would make a bold addition to any collection of Mexican folk art, ceramic sculpture, or Bustamante-style works.
Dimensions:
Height: 10 in (25.4 cm)
Diameter: 9 in (22.86 cm)
Condition:
Good vintage condition, with typical patina and surface wear consistent with age. No visible chips or repairs.
A true conversation piece that captures the spirit of surrealist folk art.

Wooden Statue of a Walking Bear Hand Carved in Switzerland, circa 1930s
Located in Berghuelen, DE
Wooden Statue of a Walking Bear Handcarved in Switzerland circa 1930s.
A vintage statue of a strolling bear. Made of lindenwood, finely handcarved and handpainted with naturalistic details in Brienz, Switzerland ca. 1930s. A nice example of the famous Black Forest Woodcarvings made in Switzerland.
The tradition of wood carving in Brienz dates back to mid of the 19th century. People in the region were looking for new employment opportunities. They used their skills from traditional crafts, carving everyday objects and sculptures, and created a new business. Many woodcarvers where trained in the 'School of Wood Carving, Brienz' which was established in 1884. Around 1900 the woodcarving industry counted ca. 2000 woodcarvers. Brienz woodcarvings were presented on several worlds fairs with great success. With the Gran Tour Tourism wealthy people from all over the word visited the area and took their woodcarving souvenirs home. Today some companies, like 'Huggler Holzbildhauerei' still exist and build traditional sculptures.

Walnut Armchair with Hand Carved Lion Head and Swan Sculptures as Armrests
Located in Lisse, NL
One of a kind and highly decorative Gothic chair from the late 1800s.
If you are looking for unique and meaningful antiques to decorate your home then this sculptural and amazing workmanship chair could be perfect for you. All handcrafted in Europe in the late 1800s this striking chair is another perfect example of the highest level of workmanship that furniture makers and sculptors were combining in those days. This marvelous chair has everything that you want to see in antique and decorative art. The overall design is perfectly balanced and the frame of this chair is solely made out of a beautifully warm colored, solid walnut. Besides that this unique chair is as strong and stable as the day it was handcrafted and very comfortable to sit in. Both the beautiful walnut and the stunning antique fabric are in very good to excellent condition. However, what makes this antique chair a real masterpiece are the glorious animal carvings. Firstly, the good size lion head on the front rule comes with majestic manes and his eyes have a human-like quality to them. Secondly and most importantly are the amazing swan head and tail sculptures. Swan head sculptures in wood are extremely rare and to have found a chair with a pair of perfectly hand carved and mint condition swan heads (and necks) as armrests and with tails on either side of the backrest more than made our day. If you have a good eye for rare details then, we think, you will especially love the perfect nose holes, but also the hand carved wooden swan tail-ends. With swans symbolizing a number of great qualities and combined with the elements of water and air also being a symbol for eternal life and the circle of life, they embody a deeper meaning that makes this antique simply exquisite. Finally, the seat and back are upholstered with a finest quality and classical European antique fabric...
