$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 ...
Art Nouveau Metal Tray w/ Lady & Macaw

$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 ...
Victorian Knife Holder w/ Bronze Knives

$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 ...

$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 ...

Late 1800's Parrot Figural Pin Cushion

$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 ...
