Additional Product Details
Eagles were used in transition from Art Nouveau to Art Deco. Sinuous forms maintained but with bolder colors especially black and white with rose diamonds. Here we see the influence of Egypt with use of unusual materials (mother of pearl) and splayed eagle wings.
This is my second purchase from the seller and, again, I can say it was a marvelous experience. The seller is highly knowledgeable, carries quality items, and is very willing to share her knowledge about the item you buy and also generalities about the times items are from. A very satisfying experience for me and highly recommended.
