Description

A rare superbly modelled large sterling silver bird figure. It is hallmarked 925 STERLING. I would date it to c1960s almost certainly made in Germany who were also making good quality silver pheasants around this time. It has been beautifully modelled being finely cast in the form of a lightly gilded Woodcock bird. It is in super condition being free from dings splits and repairs. It measures approx. 6 inches (15.2cm) long beak to tail by 2.25 inches (5.6cm) wide by 3.5 inches (9cm) tall and weighs 172 grams (all silver weight, i.e. it is not filled). A very well designed high quality rare example which would make a great shooting prize.

FAQs

Sterling silver animal figurines gained prominence in the 19th and 20th centuries as decorative table ornaments, often reflecting interests in natural history, field sports, and wildlife. These pieces were masterfully crafted by silversmiths to capture the realistic anatomical details of various creatures.

These figures are typically fashioned from solid sterling silver, often utilising techniques such as casting, hand-chasing, and repousse to create textured feather details and realistic physical proportions. Makers frequently applied oxidised finishes to highlight the intricate surface patterns.

Authenticity is determined by examining official hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the silver standard, assay office, and date letter. Genuine pieces also exhibit fine hand-worked detailing and a weight consistent with solid silver construction rather than hollow-ware electroplate.

A silver animal figurine serves as an exceptional focal point when styled on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece alongside leather-bound books and organic textures. Its metallic sheen complements both traditional study aesthetics and contemporary minimalist shelving displays.

Silver figures should be cleaned infrequently using a specialised non-abrasive silver cloth to maintain their protective patina. Avoid harsh chemical dips, store them in humidity-controlled environments, and handle them with cotton gloves to prevent skin oils from accelerating tarnish.
