Antique Hand Carved Black Forest Barometer, Flowers ans Nesting Birds Sculptures
About the Item
Large and wonderful, Swiss Black Forest barometer with thermometer.
This mother nature inspired, charming and beautifully hand-carved barometer displays the quality of the craftsmanship of Swiss Black Forest artisans around the turn of the century (1890-1910). It is beyond our comprehension how someone managed to perfectly handcarve this large and extremely sculptural barometer out of one piece of wood. if it were all flat then you could possibly understand how they would go about creating this work of art, but it isn't flat at all. It is carved all the way through, with considerable depth, with various marvelous leafs & flowers, with a ribbon and bear medaillon at the bottom and even with two nesting birds with a full nest just below the top. And the patina could not be any better either. We'd be surprised if you ever found someone who can still create this level of quality. Both the barometer (marked W. Ecker, Luzern) and the thermometer are in perfect working order and in excellent condition. Apart from a few old repairs to some of the leafs and flowers this striking and marvelous antique is in very good condition. It will look beautiful on your wall and quality antiques of this style and elegance will never fail to impress.

- Antique, Rare and Large Hand Carved Black Forest Flying Eagle Pendant ChandelierLocated in Lisse, NLA stunning, four-light eagle pendant for the collectors of only the rarest Black Forest antiques. If you are a serious and lifelong collector of Black Forest antiques or even if you are the curator of a museum owning rare Black Forest pieces then the chance of you owning a large Black Forest chandelier like this still is very small. This, over three feet wide, eagle chandelier is the kind of Black Forest antique that you normally only find in books. For us to have been given the opportunity to purchase it from a German family of (former) nobles was an honor. The older lady we purchased it from had known it all her life, but she was moving to a much smaller home and she had no family members interested in antiques. This majestic eagle with both claws is holding a perfectly hand carved branch and from each of the four side branches grows a hand crafted, blackened metal, flower lampshade. The large size of this eagle, his perfect body posture, his excellent and warm patina and the great details really make this well balanced sculpture a marvelous antique to own, to use and to look at. The way in which this fierce predator is sticking out its neck and scanning the area with its piercing eyes is something that only a true master carver is capable of creating. To us, this unique and sculptural Black Forest chandelier is the perfect center piece for a hunting lodge or for a Black Forest collector's 'treasure trove' or 'inner sanctum'. We can also see it grace the entry hall of a museum. If you can imagine how this work of art chandelier would look over your large antique desk...Category
