About the Item

Black Forest carved clock plaque by Johann Huggler (1834-1912) of Brienz - a small town in Bernese Oberland, Canton Bern Switzerland. Signed with a sticker on the bottom that reads "ch.H.Schuh Interlaken" and the same formation written in ink. Stunning piece portraying a hunting scene with young stag at top and hunting dog jumping through hoop underneath. Clock face is framed by oak boughs and foliage against smooth surface of plaque. When one looks at the old photographs of Johann Huggler this is a self portrait. Johann was known as the "King of Carvers" of Brienz. The few carvings that survived until this day pay homage to the mastery with which he carved animals and human figures. It was he who opened the Swiss Wood Carving School in Brienz in Circa 1870, where all the carvers learned the craft to produce the bears that are so collectible today. Only the second signed piece we have had by this famous carver - rare and important. 34" x 24" x 6" Family Owned & Operated Cisco’s Gallery deals in the rare, exceptional, and one-of-a-kind pieces that define the history of America and the Old West.
