1/3 Size Rare Flying Pheasant
James Lapham(1909-1987)
Dennisport, MA c.1960's
12.5" long
 
Rare and vibrant wall flying Pheasant for this maker.  Believed to be a specially carved peice due to the now illegible note written under one of the wings.  Outstretched wing tips with a long relief carved tail as well as two crests on the head.  Signed by maker on back.
 
Condition:  Original with some paint rubs to tips as well as a small spot on the top of the tail.  Tiny chip to wing tip, unnoticeable on front side.  Covered with fine white paint droplets.
 
*We've found this white paint phenomenon common with many New England miniatures.  There was a long duration of time where these were nice, not really valuable, pieces of home decor.  When the interior needed a fresh white coat, they didn't always get moved to a safe space and in turn bear this historic hallmark to their region.
 
*List price is Check or Cash price.  Online payment purchases will have an additional 5% processing fee surcharge.  Please contact with any questions!  Thank you for your business!
