Catalogue Note
This impressive set was designed and conceived in Theo Fennell's London workshop in 2018. A celebration of sporting birds taking flight, the fine modelling, casting, chasing and gilding are a testament to the craftsmanship and skill that the company has become so well-known for over the past 40 years. Whilst the large scale of the set may lend itself to permanent display, the four fitted travelling cases, stamped with the retailers monogram 'TF', allow for convenient storage and travel options.
