From our Swiss Black Forest collection, we are delighted to present this exceptional Swiss Black Forest Bear Barometer, dating to circa 1890. Expertly hand carved from rich linden wood, the bear stands upright on an oval plinth base with a rocky, textured centre. With one paw raised aloft, it playfully supports a large circular barometer, still retaining its original working mechanism.
The carving is full of life and character, with finely detailed fur, expressive glass eyes, and an animated facial expression that captures the spirit of traditional Brienz carvings. Its arched stance and outstretched paw lend a natural sense of movement, making it appear almost lifelike.
This is a superb example of late 19th century Black Forest carving, showing the detailed hand work and whimsical style typical of the period. Both decorative and functional, it remains a charming collector’s piece that brings warmth and personality to any interior.
