Wooden Statue of a Walking Bear Handcarved in Switzerland circa 1930s. A vintage statue of a strolling bear. Made of lindenwood, finely handcarved and handpainted with naturalistic details in Brienz, Switzerland ca. 1930s. A nice example of the famous Black Forest Woodcarvings made in Switzerland. The tradition of wood carving in Brienz dates back to mid of the 19th century. People in the region were looking for new employment opportunities. They used their skills from traditional crafts, carving everyday objects and sculptures, and created a new business. Many woodcarvers where trained in the 'School of Wood Carving, Brienz' which was established in 1884. Around 1900 the woodcarving industry counted ca. 2000 woodcarvers. Brienz woodcarvings were presented on several worlds fairs with great success. With the Gran Tour Tourism wealthy people from all over the word visited the area and took their woodcarving souvenirs home. Today some companies, like 'Huggler Holzbildhauerei' still exist and build traditional sculptures.

Wonderful mid twentieth century table lamp with a carved tropical island scene. Over the decades we have sold a number of rare, great looking and meaningful tropical and exotic inspired light fixtures, but this sculptural table lamp is certainly one of the more unusual ones. The circular wooden body, the warm grain of the wood and the beautifully carved translucent decorative panel together create a striking and highly decorative midcentury design. The front panel shows a romantic tropical island scene with palm trees, a small boat and a sunset-like landscape. Even with the light switched off, the carved scene has a wonderful natural depth and character. However, when the lamp is switched on, the entire scene comes to life and the warm light shining through the translucent panel creates a beautiful and atmospheric effect. It makes this lamp both a practical light source and a decorative object with real presence. The combination of the rounded wooden frame, the stepped base and the illuminated tropical view gives this piece a charming midcentury holiday feel. It would look wonderful on a side table, console, desk, bedside table or in a relaxed interior where one unique and warm accent piece can make all the difference. This lamp is in very good condition with only minor wear consistent with age and use. The socket and wiring can of course be checked and professionally prepared for safe usage before shipping. If you like the uniqueness, the quality, the warm design and the wonderful atmosphere of this midcentury tropical table lamp...
