Hound Hunt, Hunting Party, Coulant, Napkin Ring, Deer Antler Carved With A Hound
Artist: Art Populaire, Objet De Vénerie, De Chasse.
A truly beautiful 19th-century collector’s item (or practical object) is this Black Forest-style napkin ring, finely hand-carved in the round from a stag antler and depicting a hunting dog lying on a log— certainly a beagle.
This type of folk art associated with hunting makes use of the natural structure of the deer antler: the rough exterior perfectly mimics tree bark, while the inner part, which is lighter in color and denser, is carved to bring the animal to life (in this case, a hunting dog, a beagle).This is most certainly a piece of 19th-century German or Austrian folk art.
