1778927450Code 22sc CapercaillieA silver-plated metal sculpture depicting a capercaillie in a proud and ceremonial pose, captured in the act of performing its typical mating display with its tail fanned out, mounted on a base.
French manufacture, illegible signature, early 1900s.
Good condition. Dimensions: 13 x 9 x 20 cm - 5.1 x 3.6 x 7.9 in
The bird's plumage is rendered in exquisite detail through finely chiseled detail, highlighting the wing feathers, the small overlapping breast feathers, and the large tail feathers, creating a vibrant interplay of light and shade on the glossy surface.
The head is thrust forward with its beak slightly open, as if the bird were emitting its characteristic call, and features realistic details such as the eyeballs and the beard under the beak.
The work rests on a small, naturalistic silver-plated metal base simulating rough terrain with leaves and branches. This base is in turn mounted on an onyx pedestal in warm ochre and cream tones, left with rough, natural edges to accentuate the wild feel of the scene.
