Pair of Antique Swiss Black Forest Chairs w. Matching Tilt-Top Table, Late 1800s
About the Item
Stunning hand carved Black Forest hall set with marquetry inlay.
These very well crafted pieces of Black Forest furniture are an incredible sight to see. The workmanship and the large amount of finest details make this set highly decorative and an absolute eye-catcher in any entry hall or conservatory. The chairs have the entire backs carved out of one piece and these backs still looks as stunning as they did 120 years ago. Just like the rest of this set, they may even look better now, because of the patina. These chairs were not necessarily made to sit on (although you can), but they were made as decorative objects, often to impress guests. And we are certain you can see why guests would be. Especially the stunning inlaid scenes in the ebonized cartouches in both the chairs and in the table reveal the quality and finesse of the Swiss craftsmen from the late 1800s. They paint a picture of what the wildlife in the Black Forest region looked like then. They don't make 'em like this anymore and not only because it would be very hard to find an artisan who has the skills. The time that it would take to create such quality in this day and age would make this set extremely expensive.

- Antique Large & Rare, Late 1800s Hand Crafted Wooden Carriage Novelty Cigar BoxLocated in Lisse, NLLarge, masterly hand-crafted and amazing condition wooden antique coach cigar holder. If you are a collector of truly unique antiques in general and of cigar or carriage related pieces in particular then this one of a kind centerpiece could be flying your way soon. Over the years we have sold a few antique novelty cigar holders, but never one of this size and never in the form of a carriage. Back in the day when this type of carriages were the means of transportation for only the wealthiest of western societies, smoking cigars certainly was a manly thing to do and very much 'en vogue'. Smoking cigars also proved that you had made it in this world. For all those reasons, this hand-crafted carriage cigar holder has always been and always will be a statement piece. We, as antique enthousiast, first and foremost fell in love with the workmanship and with the honest and timeless way in which this carriage was hand-crafted. We also love how perfectly balanced and realistic it is and for us to have been given the opportunity to buy yet another unique antique and in such amazing condition again felt like a blessing. The former owner, in our view, had gone a little overboard in trying to be the best custodian, because he kept this unique antique in an aquarium-like glass dome. He certainly succeeded, because this carriage cigar holder is in THE best possible condition. The quality in the details and the overal balance of this coach mixed with the warm patina of the antique wood is what makes this aesthetically pleasing antique a real gem to own and to look at. We believe this work of antique craftsmanship is of museum quality and condition and no matter where you decide to have it on display, this work of art will never fail to impress. In all honesty who would not be impressed (and amused) when being offered a cigar that is in the door of a large, handcrafted, 19th century model carriage...Category
