"19th Century Black Forest Bear Bookend In Carved Wood "
With its sliding mechanism, this desk bookend can be adjusted to accommodate different book volumes. It is crafted from carved wood in the "Black Forest" style, a decorative art form originating in Switzerland, particularly the town of Brienz. In the 19th century, Brienz specialized in this type of item, often depicting bears, as seen here, with glass eyes and the rest of the body carved and stained from linden wood.Shipping in France and internationally, contact me for terms
