The bald eagle, in silver and gold

The bald eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782, and its white head, the mark of an adult, makes it unmistakable. The Silver Bald Eagle Statue translates that contrast into metal. Its wings spread wide over a dark green rock, the feathers finely textured in silver, while the head, beak and talons are finished in 24-karat gold.

The Fishing Bald Eagle Statue shows the bird in the gesture that defines it. Bald eagles feed largely on fish, taking them from the water with their talons, and here the eagle rises from a wave-like green rock with a fish clutched in its gold talons and its wings lifted. It is the most narrative piece of the collection, an American eagle statue that holds a whole scene in a single pose.

Flight and gaze

In the Silver Eagle Statue - Taking Flight the wings sweep high above the body in long, mirror-polished feathers, while the gold beak and talons still grip the rock, as if the bird had not quite decided to leave it. The polish catches every light in a room, so this silver eagle statue looks different at noon and by lamplight.

The Silver Eagle Statue Head concentrates everything in the gaze. It is a bust, head and neck only, with long wind-swept feathers in silver and a hooked gold beak, set on a dark, angular rocky pedestal. An eagle head statue of this kind fits a desk or a bookshelf and keeps the full intensity of the larger pieces.

The Eagle Knight and the Mexica world

Among the Mexica, the eagle knights and the jaguar warriors formed the elite military orders. Our Eagle Knight Statue shows one of them with copper-toned skin, wearing a silver eagle helmet and holding a staff and a feathered silver shield, with a silver eagle at his side on a black rock base. The bird was central to Mexica thought: in their tradition, an eagle perched on a nopal showed where to found Tenochtitlan, the image carried today on the Mexican flag.

For anyone looking for a Mexican eagle statue, the Eagle Knight is the piece that carries that history, and it belongs as much to our Aztec art and Prehispanic Mexican art collections as to this one. Our bird statues continue the flight with herons and owls, and our copper sculptures share the warm tone of the knight's skin.

Frequently asked questions

What does an eagle sculpture symbolise?

Eagles are widely read as symbols of vision, strength, leadership and freedom. That is why an eagle statue is such a frequent gift for a promotion, a graduation or a new office.

Which eagle suits which space?

The Silver Eagle Statue Head is the most compact and sits well on a desk. The Silver Bald Eagle Statue and Taking Flight, wings open, need room around them on a console or a sideboard. The Eagle Knight Statue belongs in a library or a study devoted to Mexican history.

How do I care for a silver eagle with gold details?

Each piece is protected by a resistant lacquer, so a soft, dry cloth is all the silver and the 24-karat gold need; metal polish and cleaning agents are best avoided. Every eagle is designed and finished by hand in Mexico City and carries our lifetime guarantee covering manufacturing defects. We ship throughout Mexico from our Mexico City workshop.
