          • Peter Q. Libbey Polychromed Carved Eagle Ship's Stern Board
            Nov. 19, 2023

            Peter Q. Libbey Polychromed Carved Eagle Ship's Stern Board

            Est: $4,000 - $5,000

            An Imposing American Folk Art Polychromed Carved Ship's Stern Board by Peter Q. Libbey (Maine, 1944-2018). The eagle modeled with wing's spread and talons clutching a red, white and blue American shield and two flags, with banner below inscribed 'DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP'.  Master carver Peter Q. Libbey (1944-2018) was born in Maine and spent most of his life there, save for his time in the Air Force, when he was stationed in Japan and flew missions over Vietnam. His eagles were carved by hand in the traditional style and are considered some of the finest 20th Century carvings. Given the time it took to complete each eagle his production was limited and examples rarely come on the market.   Dimensions: 29 1/4in; width 59 3/4in; depth 9in.
