Flying European Goldfinch by Elmer A Bergquist
(Topsham ME 1915-2010)
 
An exceptional carving of a European goldfinch. This bird is by far the finest carving by Berquist we have ever seen! Mounted on a base with a hollow log and in a delightful 'springing into flight" pose. A great opportunity to have one of this carver's best.
 
Signed & dated (1982) on base.
 
Excellent condition, original paint.
 
Length at base 9", height 5.5".
