This is an incredible and very unusual bouquet of "flowers" made from natural burl shapes. These have fantastic forms and detail, and have been mounted with branch stems on a wooden base. They vary slightly in color, and have been finished with a light clear varnish. From NC, the bouquet measures 20 1/4" high by approximately 18" wide and 13" deep. It is in excellent condition, with very minor wear on the leaf shape, and is old. While the exact age is unknown, it appears to be about 60 to 70 years old. Even the two close-ups don't show the intricacy of these. The price is $1100.00. Inventory Code: ATWR. Image ... Closeup of 1 flower ... Closeup 2 flowers ... From above ... Side view ...

This amphibian-covered stand is carved from diamond willow, with a soapstone base.
