Aunt Matilda acquired this brass peacock from the estate of a retired impresario who insisted the bird had once occupied a place of honor in the dressing room of a celebrated opera singer. Whether it witnessed standing ovations or merely collected dust, the peacock has retained its flair for dramatic entrances.
As one would expect.
Cast in brass with an elegantly fanned tail, this miniature peacock brings a touch of Victorian grandeur to bookshelves, desks, mantels, and curiosity cabinets. Long admired as a symbol of beauty, confidence, and prosperity, it serves as a reminder that there is nothing wrong with standing out from the crowd now and then.
A splendid treasure for collectors, maximalists, and anyone who appreciates a little theatrical elegance.
Some creatures were simply not designed to blend in.
