Eames huisvogel set 3d model

High quality 3D model set of the Eames house bird, both black and white finish. This sleek, elegant black bird is the Eames house bird, one of the most prized American folk art objects the Eames’ owned. The black house bird was acquired by Charles and Ray Eames on their journey through the Appalachian mountain region of the eastern United States. They were known to spice up their collections with objects they discovered in their travels, and the black house bird happened to be one of them. The original black wooden bird was created by Charles Perdew. Perdew who had been the owner of a gun repair business, turned it over to his son in 1930 and started to carve birds full time. He carved miniatures, half sizes and full sizes of all kinds of birds for decoys. Thanks to its frequent apperances in Eames marketing materials the bird has become known as the 'Eames house bird'. It popped up here and there as an accent in their photos, never as a buyable product. And never with any explanation. But people are so fond of that bird that Vitra has started producing them. The 3d model consists of 2912 polygons and 2984 vertices in total. Texture is a 1024 x 1024 pixels png image.
