About the Item

Large Black Forest Woodcarving Ibex Sculpture, Austria, circa 1920 An antique early 20th century wooden carved sculpture of an ibex. Handcarved in lindenwood with naturalistic details - most probably in Austria around 1900. On the rocky base with a small carved mouse - most probably added later. This large Black Forest style carved sculpture would be a stunning addition to any room. Very good condition, please contact us for a detailed condition report. Measures: Width: 16.93" (43cm) Height: 23.23" (59cm) Depth: 8.66" (22cm) The tradition of wood carving, using manual skills to make everyday objects and fine art sculptures, is found throughout Europe. The incentive to create not only useful but also aesthetically beautiful things, distinguishes the craftsman from the artist. In addition to the well-known Swiss wood carving artists, others can also be named in Italy / Tyrol with Steiner, in Germany with Madel and in Austria with Heissl. Their wood-carving art works with sculptures, wall plaques and reliefs enhance any interior design. artfour is an owner-managed trading company dealing in Black Forest woodcarvings, antler furniture and an impressive variety of unique decorative items.
