Archipelago Quail Block Bird Wood Carving

This lovely QUAIL BLOCK on an aged, natural wooden base is 18 cm in height (approx). D369.  A detailed family set of three Quail Birds.

British Design and Innovation is at the very core of Archipelago, renowned for their beautiful wildlife wood carvings.  Each piece is hand carved and painted so every one is unique.

From the first sketches to the final product, the Archipelago design team work directly with FAIR TRADE skilled carvers and sculptors to carefully manage the entire creative process.

All products are made from sustainable wood, giving an authentic and highly individual character to every piece made which is instantly recognisable.

The wooden bases of the birds are buried in the ground for up to three years to naturally age them, they then go through rigourous procedures to ensure they are completely clean.  Some cracks and splits are purposefully characteristic of this process and add to the overall natural appearance.

Each piece comes with the "Archipelago" TEAK TAG with logo and branding.

These stunning wood carvings make unique and wonderful gifts.

Here is some information about the Quail Bird:

A small gamebird, the combination of its stocky body and long, pointed wings makes it quite distinctive. Its upperparts are brown, streaked and barred with buff, while its underparts are a warm buffy orange. It is rarely seen and is more usually heard giving its distinctive 'wet-my lips' call. It is the UK's only migrant gamebird.
