Vintage John Perry Pelican Sculptures on Burl Wood~Nautical Decor~Studio Statue

Vintage John Perry Pelican Marine Sculpture on Manzanita Burl Wood~Nautical Decor~Studio Statue Vintage Pelican Sea Bird Statue by John Perry. Circa Lovely and simple pelican sculpture perched on a beautifully patinated burl wood. The piece measures app. 11 " tall, almost 7" @ widest part of base. In the 25 years since John Perry ceased making one of a kind sculpture and opened the Studio, he has been able to do with sculpture what printmakers do for painting, make it accessible and affordable. By applying the very latest molding techniques and materials to his work, he is able to reproduce each piece as an exact replica of the original. The material Perry uses is a versatile resin compound developed by himself, called Pellucida™, that can be presented in a variety of colors and textures. The pieces are mounted on manzanita burlwood. The root burl of the manzanita bush is appreciated for its special beauty. The sculptures are made of PellucideTM, a durable resin compound developed by the Artist. If it has a frosted finish it may be cleaned with an eraser or washed with a little warm water and Comet. You can also wash with mild dish wash soap and water. If it has a polished, painted or bronze finish it should only be dusted or wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use an abrasive. If over the years the burlwood loses its luster, apply a little furniture wax and it will buff up like new.
