Black Forest - Wall Shelf Console With Wooden Chamois Head And Sulfur Eyes

Carved wall console – Black Forest, early 20th centuryCharming console or wall shelf in finely carved walnut wood, representing a chamois head with sulphide eyes, framed by foliage in the background. Typical work from the Black Forest, dating from the early 1900s, of very beautiful craftsmanship. Very good general condition, warm patina, well-preserved details. A decorative piece that is both rustic and refined, ideal for enriching a collection of carved wood or for bringing an alpine touch to an interior. Carved objects known as Black Forest, although often associated with the German massif, actually originated in the Brienz region of Switzerland from the 19th century. Made from a soft walnut wood, this console is distinguished by its fine execution and striking naturalism. Alpine fauna and abundant foliage are expressively represented, notably thanks to the inlay of sulphide eyes. This piece, prized by collectors, is a testament to refined and deeply evocative mountain craftsmanship. Dimensions: Height: 15.5 cm (6.1 inches), width 15 cm (5.9 inches), depth 12 cm (4.72 inches).
