Mini Spotted Sandpiper

Our standing Miniature S

potted Sandpiper is ready for your table, mantle, or favorite spot. This popular beach bird has been painted to show its beautiful markings, with a bright yellow beak and matching bird legs. Our wood-carved Sandpiper is a unique addition to any style of home decor, coastal, traditional, or anywhere you want to bring nature into the room. These birds dot the beaches of Charleston and are fun to watch. What a unique reminder of salty air and sandy beach. This bird is entirely hand-crafted with delicate carving, painted with incredible detail, and then finished with wax polish. Our perched, hand-carved Sandpiper is 4.5" tall. 

We're delighted to offer a large selection of beautiful birds for your enjoyment. These birds are fairly traded using sustainable softwood and non-toxic paints. Pairs nicely with the Spotted Wingdown Sandpiper.

Anna & David create unique birds derived from a meeting between indigenous folk art and western aesthetics. From home on Vancouver Island, surrounded by the sea, mountains and an abundance of birds, they have much to inspire them and offer designs that bring simple yet refined examples of natures greatest inspiration. They have been working closely with the same three families of carvers for over 7 years, drawing on the villages centuries old techniques to realize beautiful products. Using Albesia and Coffee wood, these fast growing timbers come from sustainable farming practices for continued harvest and regrowth.

Please note: the bases are intended to look as natural as possible. They are cut raw and left to the elements. Sun, rain and even insects all have a part to play in creating character and may look as natural as if found on the forest floor. There are no hard rules and depending on time and season pieces can have more or less signs of age, but wear elements, insect holes and cracks are entirely natural and reflect our brand's intentionally imperfect character. - Aviologie
