Art Nouveau Wise Owl on Pine Letter Rack (LEO Design)

Owls have long symbolized Wisdom and Intelligence.  The Ancient Greeks associated them with the goddess of knowledge, Athena.  And because owls moved silently through the night, they were sometimes associated with mystery or “otherworldliness.”   Here a wise owl sits patiently on the pine branch of this American Art Nouveau letter rack, made in the earliest Twentieth Century.  Please come into the shop to see him or click on the photo above to learn more about him.
