Antique Black Forest Deer Head Bavaria ca. 1890s

About the Item

Antique Black Forest Deer Head Bavaria ca. 1890s A lovely carved wooden Black Forest deer head. Handcarved in Baroque style around 1890. It features a real 6 point deer horn trophy. A great individual piece which enhances every wall decoration. Good condition with partly paint restaurations. A special way to present hunting trophies is to attach them to carved animal heads. This tradition exists since the Middle Ages. Even after intensive investigations, it is not yet possible to explain exactly how this happened. The carved heads are often colored and mounted on cartouches that are also carved and painted. They follow a naturalistic representation and one could think that in this way they are symbolically brought back from the abstraction of dead antlers into liveliness. Famous artists to be named are Madl in Ichenhausen, Germany and Heissl in Ebensee, Austria. Around 1900, the antler collection at the Palace of Arco-Zinneberg was an epitome for any lover of this art. artfour is an owner-managed trading company that sells Black Forest wood carvings, antler furniture and an impressive variety of unique decorative items.
