18th Italian Neoclassical Gilt Carved Wood Eagle

Neoclassical sculpture in gilded wood depicting an eagle with outstretched wings, Italy, 18th century.
A common motif in both sacred and secular art, the eagle—an ancient symbol of strength and power in the Roman Empire—serves in the Neoclassical era as a possible homage to Napoleonic rule.
A high-quality sculpture with well-defined plumage and a beautiful original gold leaf finish. Good condition, minor signs of age.
