19th-century Black Forest Craft. Deer Bone Paper Cutter
Carved from a deer bone from the Black Forest, this skeleton mounted on a paper cutter evokes the medieval tradition that was very fashionable in the mid-19th century, and the taste for the sometimes morbid Gothic style.
The “Totentanz” (Dance of Death), inspired by Renaissance engravings, served as a source of inspiration, even in music (a work by Franz Liszt is particularly famous).
Local artisans followed this trend and produced small objects that appealed to collectors.
This paper cutter is in perfect original condition.
Skeleton dimensions: 12 cm
