Expertly carved from hardwood and finished in a rich ebonised tone, this piece showcases fine detailing — from the textured feathering to the ceramic eyes.
Originally made as a page turner or desk accessory, it exemplifies the artistry of Edwardian and early Art Deco treen craftsmanship. Elegant and tactile, it would have graced a gentleman’s study or lady’s writing desk, used to turn pages without marking fine paper.
Now a highly collectible treen curiosity, it makes a delightful addition to any collection of owls, antique desk accessories or carved wooden novelties.
Dimensions: 40.5cm X 4.5cm
Condition: Good with typical age and use related wear all over. Surface scuffs to the ebonisation.
Item No. 8180
