Stunning sculptures or bookends by Austin Productions, dated 1970. These owls created in an impressionism style are simply classy and timeless. One is a quarter of an inch taller than the other, giving them nice symmetry. They have been fully restored and painted with a semi-gloss bronze acrylic paint and finished with a heavy clear lacquer that is UV resistant, so you can enjoy them for many more decades to come.

I have been working on a passion project that involves purchasing sculptures from various sources and with varying degrees of damage. It has been a labor of love with countless hours and loads of hard work. My goal is to restore these pieces back to their original grandeur, sometimes with an updated color palate when appropriate. I hope to not only keep another artist’s masterpiece living on for a few more decades, but to introduce the next generation to sculptures as home décor that may otherwise end up in our landfills.

Sculptures are not just art; they are three-dimensional stories that invoke many feelings and memories. Thank you for looking at my collection of restored treasures and I hope you find one that tells your story.

I am a small independent business, returns are accepted, less a 15% restocking fee - Thank you for understanding.
