About John Haley Bellamy
- John Haley Bellamy (April 5, 1836 – April 6, 1914) was a folk artist of New England, USA, known for his highly stylized carved wooden eagles and other decorative items for ships and homes.
- Bellamy was born in Kittery, Maine in 1836, and stayed there for much of his career.
- Later in his life he lived and worked elsewhere in New England.
- Although carving was his primary means of supporting himself, he never considered himself to be an "artist," and he is not known to have signed any of his pieces.
- His eagles are highly desired in the collectors' market, with some selling in 2007 for over $100,000, and a large piece setting an artist-record price of $660,000 at an August 2005 auction.
- Bellamy died in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1914.
