An elegant, authentic hand-carved wildlife sculpture by acclaimed British artisan John Mainwaring.
Standing 13cm tall, this fluid, tactile piece is beautifully sculpted from premium solid rock maple, showcasing the timber's fine, close-grained patterns and pale, natural lustre.
The sculpture masterfully reduces a dove or pigeon form to its most essential geometric contours, highlighting a characteristically full, rounded breast and a sleek, upswept tail.
The flat, sanded underside proudly bears Mainwaring’s hand-incised "JM" monogram initials alongside his studio's original typewritten timber identification label.
This minimalistic, mid-century Scandinavian-style avian carving seamlessly fits into modern and rustic home decors alike, making it a highly collectible piece of contemporary British woodcraft.
Very good condition.
