The Wild Turkey Pair in Silver

Patrick says, ‘Authenticity is the hallmark of my sculptures and with my sights set on  producing a realistic silver replica (Great Eastern Wild Turkey), I travelled to upstate New York to study the bird that has the sight of an eagle, the hearing of a bat and the sense of danger of an African leopard.

The only way that I could lure a tom, or gobbler, turkey out of the woods and close enough to study was to have a professional turkey caller mimic a flirtatious hen. However, the most exciting part of my turkey research was attending the National Turkey Convention of North America held in Atlanta, Georgia’.

The wild turkey is the most complex and detailed pieces Patrick has ever made. He says, ‘The turkey is the most impressive animal to sculpt not because of its size, but because of its many feathered shields, like some ancient Samurai warrior in full battledress. Although I have seen many animal and bird courtship displays, the wild turkey of North America is one of the most complex and exciting’.

Includes both sculptures the Tom and the Hen turkey as a pair.

Dimensions:
Tom: Length 19.5cm, Width 17cm x Height 23.5cm
Hen: Length 19.5 cm, Width 8.5cm x Height 14.5cm

It all began when Patrick created a pair of earrings for his wife Catja, who wore them to the hair salon, where her hairdresser saw them and requested that a pair be made for her. Soon afterwards, all the other ladies who went to the salon were asking for similar earrings and from this gift of love, our journey as Africa’s luxury house began.

Patrick and Catja have injected their style and creativity into the magical environment of their home and studio in the sanctuary of the Umwimsi Valley where they brought up their four sons.

From day one, the boys grew up immersed in the creative surroundings of their father’s studio. Alexander, Forbes, Patrick Jnr and Benjamin infused the house of Mavros with their enthusiasm, creativity and passion with a serious pinch of fun...

Marrying intricate craftsmanship with an intrepid family heritage, every piece that we make has been designed by a member of the family with the sole intention of bringing delight and showcasing the very best of African luxury.

Love pervades everything connected with our business, from the design and production of our works of art to the care and attention given to serving our customers and friends and, of course, our love of Africa.
