About the Item
An original 18th century silvered and carved pine eagle, circa 1780.
Likely once used as an architectural pediment, this architectural eagle ornament is a testament to popular neoclassical styling of the period. It is deeply carved in relief, details of the eagle with wings outspread still clear and distinguishable after more than 240 years.
At the same time, it shows its age with an attractive timeworn look, and distressed gilding in areas that only adds to its unique beauty.
A hook to the back allows this eagle sculpture to be attached to a wall, looking particularly striking situated above a mantelpiece or as a feature piece of wall decoration in a drawing room, office or hallway.

19th Century French Carved Eagle Mirror
By Gabriel Viardot
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
A finely carved wooden eagle holding a mirror in the shape of a crescent moon attributed to French cabinetmaker and wood craftsman, Gabriel Viardot (1830-1906).
