$150 USDUnusual Framed Victorian Metal Silhouette of Parrots
Antiques:By Period, Style:Art Nouveau
If it's the unusual and Avian you seek with a bit of history besides, then this unique silhouette from Germany is certain to catch your eye. Surrounded by a period wood frame with a decorative inner edge, the profiled Parrots 'n plants are crafted of shiny metal (perhaps chrome, not sure) backed in light blue material, and covered with glass. The oval shaped piece is larger than you'd expect, measuring 15.75" x 11.75" and can either hang on the wall via a supplied hook (taped to the back) or ...
$350 USDFrench Victorian Bronze Ringholder w/Parrot
Antiques:Accessories
A delightful and delicate ringholder from France, made in the late 1800's or early 1900's and fashioned into the shape of a Parrot upon a T-stand. The bird is action posed, with wings and tail spread, who seems to be eying the food & water dishes below. The holder is made of bronze and has four segmented bars to hang rings and the like. It measures 6" tall to the top of the bird's wing and is 3" in diameter at the base. It is in good condition save for a small bend at the bottom edge (see pic) ...
$235 USDEarly 1900's Napkin Ring w/ Boy & Parrot
Antiques:Napkin Rings
A fun silverplate napkin ring of the Avian variety, featuring a long-tailed Parrot on one side (possibly a Macaw) and a little Dutch boy on the other. The ring is hexagonal rather than the usual round shape and the base has a nice Nouveau pattern of flowing lines and florals. It's quite weighty for its size, which is 2 7/8" long, 2" wide and 2.25" high. The detail on both the boy and bird is well done and the condition good. Unmarked. An elegant way to showcase both your love of birds and good ...
$325 USDArt Nouveau Metal Tray w/ Lady & Macaw
Antiques:By Period, Style:Art Nouveau
If you're nuts for Nouveau (and women and Parrots, too) then this Victorian tray is certain to catch your eye. Coming to us from Belgium, we knew you'd be charmed by the visage of an an elegant Miss attempting to feed her precious Parrot cherries from her mouth, all while being surrounded by florals and flowing lines. All of the decorative elements, from the woman and Macaw in the middle to the flowers on the sides are convex, giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and real presence. The tray is ...
$750 USDVictorian Bronze Inkwell w/ Perched Parakeet
Antiques:Accessories
A rare and remarkable Victorian inkwell stand from Germany, sporting a bronze Parakeet perched on a T-stand in its center, with cut crystal inkwells flanking each side below. The tray is large enough to accommodate pens and various writing accessories, and keeps the heavy inkwells stationary via attached braces. But enough of the tray, what about the Budgie?!? Although unmarked it is certain to be a Vienna bronze and is quite detailed with lines on its feet and an obvious cere. I can tell it was ...
$275 USDLate 1800's English Egg Caddy w/ Cockatoo
Antiques:By Period, Style:Victorian
An elegant and exceptional electroplated egg caddy from Victorian England, featuring a curious Cockatoo on a T-stand above and removable egg cups below. Both the cup rims and the tray have a pie crust edge, while the tray features four ball and claw feet. There are slots in between each egg cup for the placement of a spoon and the Parrot serves as the tray's handle. It was created by Harrison Brothers & Howson of Sheffield between 1862 and 1897 and is in exceptional condition with almost no ...
$275 USDRosebreasted Cockatoo Vienna Bronze
Antiques:Bronzes
An uncommon 'Too of the bronze persuasion, perched within a trio of bars and peering out at the world with a contented look on her face. Hand painted in Rosebreasted Cockatoo perfection, this bronze originated in Austria around the turn of the century, and although there is some wear, about 85% of her original paint remains. The bars are of silver metal, while the base is of brass, and both the Cockatoo and base have screws to keep them attached. The entire piece measures 4.25" tall and is 2.75" ...
$200 USDVictorian Cockatoo Figural Napkin Ring
Antiques:Napkin Rings
A gorgeous (and heavy) silverplate napkin ring, produced by the Meriden B. Company between 1886-1889. On the side of the ring sits an interesting (or perhaps interested, judging by his crest) Cockatoo, with nice feather detail and a sweet face. The napkin ring is engraved with both flowers and the name "Lide" (?) at the top and has a design along the edges. The ring is slightly out of round (see pic) but still attractive, and measures 3 3/8" long, 2.5" wide and 2 3/8" tall. About 80% of the ...
$650 USDVictorian Candleholder & Tray w/ Tottering 'Toos
Antiques:By Period, Style:Victorian
A spectacular piece from late 1800's Europe featuring a pair of teeter-tottering Cockatoos flanked by glass candleholders. A tray for placement of treats is below, with a handle above for transportation (you know how 'Toos are -love to be carried...) The piece is made entirely of brass, save for the candle cups, which are brass, and the Cockatoos, which are bronze. It is nicely sized at 7" x 7 1/8" x 10.5" and is in good condition for its 100+ year history, though it shows its age via a crack in ...
$450 USDArt Nouveau Pedestal Tray w/ Bronze Cockatoos
Antiques:Bronzes
A delightful bronze and brass tray from Europe featuring a pair of Cockatoos caught in a balancing act, for when the tray is moved they both see-saw in playful abandon. The Cockatoos are cold painted, highly detailed and are most likely Vienna bronze, while the tray and pedestal are brass. The top portion is open and may have held an epergne flute in the past but nowadays a small candle would fit quite nicely. The entire piece measures 7 1/8" tall and about 6.5" wide. It is in good condition ...
$425 USDVictorian Knife Holder w/ Bronze Knives
Antiques:By Period, Style:Art Nouveau
Experience the elegance of Europe with this stunning and rare silverplate knife holder from the mid-1800's to early 1900's. Sporting a crested bird on a T-stand at the top (a Cockatoo perhaps?) the flair doesn't stop there, for in the middle you'll find a swagged skirt and faces & buttons on the base. But the bounty doesn't stop THERE, for also included are six pearl-handled fruit knives. Très chic! The stand itself is 8.75" tall to the top of the bird's wing and is 3 5/8" in diameter at the ...
$195 USDLate 1800's Parrot Figural Pin Cushion
Antiques:By Period, Style:Victorian
Recently flown in from England and looking great for his 100+ years, is this Parrot pincushion with a stoic expression (which makes sense given the poking and prodding he receives). He's a wee one, measuring 3.75" from beak to tail, and 1.25" wide at his Birdie breast yet is quite heavy and well made, with excellent Parrot-y detail and an elegant patina. Unmarked. Just the thing for bedrooms and boudoirs and devotees of the Victorian and antique. Quite a catch, you'll have fun pinning your hopes ...
$210 USDFrench Hanging Parrot Ceiling Light
Antiques:Lamps, Lighting
Willing to deviate from the norm? Then feast your eyes on this decidedly different hanging lamp from France, made of hand carved wood and crafted into the shape of a perched Parrot. Rather than veggies and squawks this fellow spouts a glass lamp instead with a variegated red shade. While the wood and aluminum chain are of the vintage variety (early 1900's) and European, the lamp and wiring are modern and suitable for American households and the eternally hip. Measures 28.5" in length, 10.75" in ...
$300 USDCockatoo Bronze on Marble
Antiques:Bronzes
If you tend toward 'Toos of the strong and silent type, then this turn-of-the-century bronze deserves a closer look. Here we have a bright-eyed and bushy tailed Cockatoo perched atop a block of marble, clinging tightly to a T-stand via screws and looking for a new home. Birdie is in possession of fine feathered detail, with a bit of puff to those fine feathers, and stands 5" to the top of his crest, while the marble is 1 5/8" squared. He's in grand condition as well, with just a slight bend in ...| Items 1 - 14 of 14 | Page 1 of 1 |
