Antique Finer Quality Carved Black Forest Bear Sculpture / Striking Deskpiece

About the Item

Incredible workmanship, antique bear sculpture on a nutwood base. Most people on earth don't have a very good idea of who they are, nor what they really like and want. That often is also reflected in their interiors. Especially when it comes to antiques most people don't even realize / are not aware what amazing sculptures, mirrors, lamps, cabinets etc have been created in the past centuries. If you ARE aware and if you have already learned to appreciate the joy that you get out of living amongst truly beautiful items then this magnificent antique bear could be yours to enjoy soon too. Mind you, this unusual size and this type of detail and finesse in Black Forest carvings really is a rare find. The quality of the natural posture, the fat on the back (this big guy is ready to go into hibernation), the details around the glass eyes and the perfect nose, they are all signs of the better quality workmanship. Add to that the warm patina and the almost perfect condition and together they make this Black Forest bear a real collector's item. If you already have a place in mind for this rare and striking work of Black Forest art then maybe you should be its next custodian. This impressive and good size bear sculpture (we have placed a bottle of wine next to it so that you get a better idea of its size) certainly is great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 14.75 x 6.7 x 6.7 inches. Height of the stunning bear without the base: 11.6 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
