2006 Fitz and Floyd Guild Collection Jeweled Orange Beak Bird Figurine with Box
This vibrant Orange Beak Bird figurine is a premier specimen from the prestigious Fitz and Floyd Guild Collection. Produced in 2006, this jeweled miniature is a masterwork of mixed-media craftsmanship featuring a heavy metal foundation finished in brilliant hand-applied enamels. The bird is rendered in a high-contrast tropical palette of sunset orange, emerald green, and deep violet, accented by multiple rows of handset crystals along the crest and wings. Perched upon a textured golden branch, this piece captures the Jeweled Menagerie aesthetic that is highly coveted by collectors of fine animalier art. This item comes complete with its original satin-lined presentation box and certificate of authenticity, making it a sophisticated choice for a luxury gift or a prestigious desktop accent.
Historical Significance
The Fitz and Floyd Guild line represents the highest tier of the company’s artisan-produced collectibles. Since its founding in Dallas in 1960, Fitz and Floyd has been an icon of American decorative design, but the Guild Collection successfully transitioned the brand into the elite world of luxury metalwork and fine enameling. These pieces were designed to rival high-end European objects of virtue and are noted for their naturalist accuracy blended with a whimsical, jeweled finish. The Orange Beak Bird, model 34/155, is a significant find from the 2006 series, representing the brand’s commitment to labor-intensive hand-finishing for its most exclusive retail partners.
