Large & Finest Quality, Antique Carved Nutwood Swiss Black Forest Bull Sculpture
About the Item
Museum quality and condition, hand carved livestock sculpture.
This marvelous bull is for the collectors of the rarest and best quality Black Forest sculptures. Incredibly detailed, hand carved and large in size this bull sculpture can only be from the Swiss Black Forest region around the lake of Brienz. It simply can only be the work of a Swiss master carver, because to be able to create this much detail in a wooden sculpture takes a god given talent and a lifetime of experience. With the anatomy, the posture AND the balance being perfectly correct, this work of art is simply devine. An experienced antique dealer once learned us that a great sculpture looks good from all angles and that certainly is the case with this striking bull. Some of the details are so intricate, you would think that it took a needle to carve them. Apart from the muscles and bones, in some areas you can even see the veins and the patina is second to none as well. Finding this strong bull sculpture would have been great, but to find in this condition really takes this antique to a level of its own. With absolutely no damage or restaurations to be found, we have no problem rating this rare antiques as being of museum quality AND condition and we don't think we will ever find another one as large and perfect as this. You could have it on display in the middle of your display cabinet (so behind glass), but it also make great center piece on a credenza or mantel. If you like this incredibly rare and intricate bull as much as we do than you will love our price. Also, because our fair price for this amazing bull includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
Maximum width x height x depth: 17.7 x 12 x 6 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for artistic and beautiful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
