Description :

Two framed wood-inlay pictures featuring stylized coastal birds, shoreline scenery, and warm contrasting wood tones. One depicts birds flying over a winding coastline; the other shows birds around waterfront pilings. The taller piece retains a Dawkins & Dawkins maker’s label naming Kent and Gary Dawkins.

Highlights

Two complementary coastal bird compositions.
Marquetry designs formed from contrasting wood veneers.
Natural grain adds texture and variation to the imagery.
Wood frames in coordinating brown finishes.
Dawkins & Dawkins label and handwritten number 303 on the taller piece.

Maker & Historical Note

The attached Dawkins & Dawkins label explains that Kent and Gary Dawkins selected naturally colored woods rather than using colored stains. Individual pieces were cut and assembled by hand, then finished with Danish oil and wax. This approach uses the wood’s own color and grain to create the image—a defining feature of marquetry. The second picture has no visible maker’s label.

Measurements

Approximately 6.25" × 8.25".
Approximately 6" × 8".

Condition

Visible surface scratches, including a long scratch across the lower portion of the taller picture. Frames show scuffs, finish wear, and marks around the corners. The paper maker’s label has discoloration and curled edges. Please review the photographs for details.
