Silver Bullion, Hand-Embroidered BEs

[Tim Curley]

Collecting these breast eagles is a sub category of collecting for me. I admire the great variety in styles and quality.

After deciding I had more than enough examples on hand, somehow these 5 new BEs appeared on my doorstep this month.

Each BE has its body done in a different manner.
The top BE has a "pot belly."
The second BE has a big eye.
The fourth BE has its body done in an uncommon style with very fine silver thread.

Hi Tim,

All very nice examples! Thank you for sharing these wonderful pieces. A good array here, for sure, and you've nicely elucidated some of the variances we can see. The variations are endless, quite frankly.

Agreed! More beautiful birds for your collection Tim which remind me I should be expanding my "horizons" before they all dissapear...

I particulary like the bottom right one: great detail, superb embroidery, excellent condition!

Cheers

The top right and bottom left are two examples I would love to own! As that thread says, some birds are better than others. Matt

Hello Tim,


Thanks for posting your eagles. You have a nice selection there. Top right and Lower left are pretty neat and a little out of the ordinary!!

The third eagle is true art IMO.
