An Italian Hardstone Carved Owl, C 1930

1920 - 1940
Description

This superb little fellow is beautifully hand carved from hardstone quartz; a rare variety called tigers eye which gets its name from the similarity of lustrous natural colours which are seen in a tiger’s eye.

The finely modelled and hand carved stone owl is supported on detailed silver clawed feet and legs. His precise little beak is carved from dark orange coral and he has very realistic glass eyes.

The owl is mounted and displayed onto a white naturally shaped and polished stone, most likely marble.

Italian, circa 1930

Height 9cm x width 8cm x depth 8cm

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.
