Elegant pair of Napoleon III style decorative objects consisting of early 20th-century ostrich eggs, entirely lacquered and skillfully fixed on feathers, finely worked bronze chicken legs, and an aged marble base.
The object is handmade with finishes, patinated and worn effects deliberately desired by the craftsman.
The eternal dilemma of "which came first, the chicken or the egg" has intrigued and occupied philosophers and scientists for centuries. Even if science seems to have provided us with an explanation, this object with a slightly surreal taste and dreamlike presence presents itself as a curious decorative object with a subtle, original, and refined taste.
