Miniature Adult Male Northern Goshawk by Anthony Hillman, Cape May, New Jersey, circa 2009. This Beautifully-Designed Goshawk represents the Largest Accipiter in Miniature Form. The Presentation with its Realistic Beak, Full-bodied Stature, and Raised Wing – Split Tail Carving mounted on the Perfect Piece of Driftwood is Simply Excellent. Only to be Further Enhanced by a Carefully Applied Paint Pattern Clearly Identifying the Adult Male with its Red Eyes, the Dominant White Supercilium above the Eyes, and the Fine Gray Barring on the Breast. The Miniature is Signed under the tail: “Anthony Hillman 09” and the Base indicates that it was originally sold by Lytle’s of Shreveport, Louisiana. The Hawk measures 4” in length and 1 ¼” in width. Placed on a Desirable Piece of Driftwood and Laid on a Formal Base, the Total Composition is 6 ¼” wide and 5” in height. An Outstanding Miniature Northern Goshawk.

Miniature Sleeping Sanderling Shorebird Carving by Award Winning Artist Manfred K. Scheel, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, circa 1990. Scheel who carved for over 50 years frequently won awards at The Ward Foundation Championship based on the Quality of his work. This miniature is without question one of the best we have offered. Measuring a Mere 2 ½” in length, the Intricacy of Scheel’s Detailed Feather Carving is Incredible. Moreover, the Form of the Sleeping Bird with its Head buried in Its Back Feathers, standing on One Leg with the Other Tucked as a Resting Shorebird is Exceptional. The Paint is in Untouched Original Condition and Truly reflects the Field Marks of the Sanderling. The Total Presentation, approximately 4” in height, of the Shorebird Standing on a Rock and Surrounded by Sand and Pebbles creates the Perfect Scene. Signed and Dated on the Bottom.

Miniature Great Blue Heron by Reggie Birch, Chincoteague, Virginia, / Berlin, Germany, circa 21st Century. Reggie is Most Well-Known for his Full-sized Waterfowl and Miniature Waterfowl Carvings, most of which are offered with an “Aged” patina. This Miniature exemplifies Reggie’s animated carving style, with a sleek turned-head view of the Great Blue. The “S” style of the neck, raised wing pattern, detailed feather lines of the back side, bold glass eyes, tall legs, and detailed bill, all give this carving a dynamic look. The Original Paint provides a combination of painterly realism and visual expressionism, finished with and “aged” patina. The Heron measures 7 ½” in length, 1 1/8” in width, and 6 5/8”. The Bottom of the Base carries Reggie’s Ink Stamp. A Very Appealing Miniature Heron.

Miniature Snuggle Head Northern Bob White by “Chrobak”, circa 1984. We have been unable to find any information on the carver, except that Chrobak is a common Polish name. The Miniature Bob White is in a Highly Appealing Snuggle Head Style, typical of a Bob White on its Nest or Sleeping. The Craving is Highly Detailed with Much of the Feathering presented in a Rather Subtle Fashion with the Head featuring Fuller Detail and Glass Eyes. The Carving is then Accented in the Painterly Manner of the Bob White, enhancing the initial carving and offering Quite Realistic Coloration. The Bird measures 6 ½” in length, 3” in width, and 3” in height. This Carving is a Rather Unique Presentation of the Bob White and is a Wonderful Addition to a Miniature Collection.
