About the Item

Huge black forest carved fallow deer head with large antlers circa. 1890 A monumental wooden carved Black Forest fallow deer head. Carved with realistic details in South Germany ca. 1890. It comes with a pair massive fallow deer antler trophys. This head is a great rustic wall decoration in Black Forest style which highlights each wall decoration. 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.

Relief Wood Carving Nest Robber, Black Forest, ca. 1890

Located in Berghuelen, DE

Relief wood carving nest Robber, black forest ca. 1890 A fine wood carving relief depicting a scenery of a nest robbing of a raptor by a man. The model for this carving was painted by Josef Anton Strassgschwandtner (1826-1881) and is titled "Nestraeuber" (nest robber). The tradition of wood carving, using manual skills to make everyday objects and fine art sculptures, is found throughout Europe.

Antique wooden carved Black Forest game plaque with fox An antique wooden hunting game plaque with impressive carving of a fox and hunting accessoires. Black Forest, executed ca. 1900. Very good condition. This plaque is a splendid addition to every rustic wall decoration. 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 were 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.
