Feathers Gallery KNYSNA Limited Edition NO 1514 Male Mandarin Duck Hand Crafted Vintage

FEATHERS OF KNYSNA WAS RENOWNED FOR IT'S LIMITED EDITION CARVED WOODEN BIRDS.
WHAT MAKES THESE BIRDS UNIQUE IS THAT EACH ONE OF THEM IS HANDMADE FROM THE CARVING TO THE PAINTING.  IN APRIL 2016, THE FEATHERS OF KNYSNA OWNERS RETIRED AND CLOSED THE FACTORY.
These carved wooden birds were from the famous FEATHERS OF KNYSNA GALLERY. The town of Knysna was famous for its many art galleries to include the Feathers Gallery. These Feathers birds were part of a conservation awareness program/campaign aimed at improving the lot for urban and wild birds and a percentage of the price went towards Bird Sanctuary Awareness. At one time Feathers of Knysas birds were sold in galleries in the US, Europe, as well as Africa. These original collectibles have become scarce and hard to find. Each bird is hand carved and painted/stained and are buffed to retain the natural wood luster and bring out the detail in the wood grain. They are limited editions and each bird is numbered.
