About the Item
Incredible size and great quality black forest hunting plaque for wall mounting with Fruits of the Hunt.
This rare size and all hand-carved, solid nutwood game plaque from the second half of the 19th century is of amazing quality and beauty. If you look at the back (in image 10) then you can see that the outer part is completely carved out of one piece. If you look at the details in the carved hare and pheasant and the perfectly balanced composition of this Black Forest work of art then you will realize that this can only be the work of a German master carver. In this day and age you would struggle to find anyone in the world still capable of creating this kind of realistic sculptural art out of wood. Nowadays hunting by many is considered cruel, but you have to bear in mind that this work of hunting art was made in a time when meat was not as ready available as it is today and hunting simply was a way of getting meat/food on the table. This elaborate composition consisting of the hunting Horn surrounded by the hunting bag with tassels, the rifle and powder flask, the hunting rope, the oak leafs, the large hare and the pheasant is an absolute joy to look at. Not only because of the amazing workmanship, but also because of the wonderful patina and the incredible size. It must have taken the master carver weeks if not months to first draw and then perfectly carve this top quality plaque. This sculptural Black Forest antique started its life as a very large clock. It can again made to be either, but one could also turn this hunting sculpture into a wall mirror. Whatever you decide to use it for, this large and top quality Black Forest eyecatcher will never fail to impress.

Rare Folk Art Black Forest Root Wood Table Clock w. Bell Ringer Monk, Cuckoo St.
Located in Lisse, NL
Rare and great folk-art workmanship mantel clock for the collectors and enthousiasts.
Over the years we have had the pleasure of owning and selling a number of beautiful Black Forest antiques, but never did we come accross a 19th century Black Forest, Folk Art table clock of this design and subject matter and with such amazing natural organic details. This small church or chapel-like 'clockhouse' is entirely handcrafted out of all kinds of wood, but the most eye-catching is ofcourse the organic root wood. Each piece is like an abstract sculpture and depending on how you see things, they may look like one thing to you, but like something completely different to the next person. Because of all the natural materials that were used this small church has a stunning organic look and feel, but what really takes it to another level is the bell striking mechanism. Every six hours the church bell will ring many times, the door on the left will open at every 'strike', revealing the original monk sculpture inside (as shown in the attached video in this listing). With the hand carved crucifix on the right side being made of the same color and materials, it totally blends in with the entire organic design of this Christian antique. Over the many decades this good size and rare antique clock has also grown the most amazing patina and with the natural beauty and unique artisanship that it radiates people will want to stop and study its uniqueness. This work-of-art-table-clock comes with a single day clock mechanism, protected from dust by the original 'back door'. It runs and strikes perfectly and comes with an antique key for winding it. Apart from a few minor imperfections, this rare antique is in excellent condition, which makes it perfect for lovers of unique and rare clocks in general and for Black Forest and Christian Folk Art collectors in particular.
Mind you, our fair price for this sizable antique cuckoo clock...
