A commanding pair of large-scale eagle statues, each carved with wonderful naturalistic detail — deeply textured feathers, folded wings, and expressive heads with hooked beaks and alert eyes. Each bird sits in a watchful pose atop a rough rock-form base, with a raised crest feather at the crown.
The material has the warm, buff-to-ochre tone and soft surface quality of terracotta or a soft cast stone, with a beautifully weathered patina and traces of moss staining from years outdoors. A few chips are present, most notably to the crest feathers and base edges — nothing structural, and very much in keeping with their age and garden history.
Substantial in scale and full of character, this pair works equally well indoors or out — flanking an entrance, gate, staircase, garden folly, or as a bold statement piece in an entry hall or library.
