Description

Vintage Amsterdam Sauer Brazilian Carved Gemstone Parrot Sculpture on Amethyst Base - 8" Up for sale is a stunning, authentic mid-century lapidary art sculpture crafted by the world-renowned Brazilian luxury gemstone and jewelry house, Amsterdam Sauer (founded in 1941). Standing at a substantial 8 inches tall, this exquisite piece features a masterfully hand-carved tropical parrot perched atop a vibrant, deep-purple natural amethyst crystal cluster base. Amsterdam Sauer is legendary for pioneering the fine gemstone industry in South America, and their vintage mid-century stone carvings are highly coveted by fine art collectors, mineral enthusiasts, and interior designers alike. Material & Craftsmanship Breakdown: • The Bird Body: Masterfully sculpted from natural banded calcite/fluorite, showing beautiful organic layers that catch the light. • The Head & Accents: Accented with rich blue sodalite or jasper detailing around the face. • The Beak: Expertly carved from chatoyant tiger's eye, giving it a realistic, shimmering golden sheen. • The Tail Feathers: Crafted from deep green aventurine quartz. • The Base: A heavy, premium druse amethyst geode cluster with thick, well-defined purple crystal points, securely mounted on a polished black display base. • The Feet: Intricately detailed cast metal claws that securely anchor the bird to its crystal perch. Dimensions & Specifications: • Height: 8 inches • Manufacturer: Amsterdam Sauer (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) • Condition: Very good vintage condition. The stone features natural inclusions, veining, and organic variations inherent to natural minerals. There are two minor chips on base, please review photos carefully. Shipping & Handling: Due to the delicate and highly fragile nature of lapidary art, this item will be packed with the utmost care. It will be heavily wrapped in premium bubble wrap. Don’t miss the chance to own a verified piece of Brazilian luxury gemstone history. Please look closely at all photos for exact visual details, and feel free to reach out with any questions!
