Large Mid-Century French Hand-Made Wrought Iron Eagle Sculpture

We are suckers for great animal sculpture, regardless of the age, and this hand-made wrought iron sculpture of a landing eagle does not disappoint. Reputedly made by a French artisan from the Massif Central in the 1940s and handed down through his family, it has exquisite detailing and movement. The claws are especially impressive and the overall form commanding. Attached to its original block of wood, it can easily be fastened to a stone or wooden plinth for display indoors or out. With some light surface rusting, it has obviously been kept inside for most of its life, but would be wonderful outside. Please note that we have a beautiful 19th Century Bathstone Plinth (SPE 1025) that would make a fine base for the eagle.
