1900 Swiss Black Forest Carved Basswood Begging Dog Cigar and Matchbox Holder

About the Item

Swiss Brienz black forest hand carved linden wood begging poodle with brass matchbox holder and four brass cigar holders. Black Forest wood carved art originates from a small mountain town Brienz, Switzerland. In the 19th century travelling became populair among the rich and famous and Brienz attracted many tourists with being by the foot of a mountain, at a lake and near to the Giessbach Falls. Tourists were intrigued with the carved alpine and animal themes in Victorian times. Soon owning one of these sculptures was a status of luxury and wealth. I'm always a big fan of animal related pieces like this to cheer up a serious pile of books for instance or to fun up a cabinet shelf. Anyhow this little fellow with his glass eyes is a very nice collector's item.
