Hand Carved Nutwood Swiss Black Forest Bear Table Stand with Hinging Head

About the Item

Rare, top-quality carved and excellent condition Black Forest table. If you are a collector of rare, top quality carved and highly decorative Black Forest bear antiques then this finest of specimens could be yours to enjoy soon. We honestly feel that this rare and highly collectible Black Forest table comes with the best detailed and most realistic bear sculpture on 1stdibs today. What makes this striking bear with its glass eyes even more special is its hinging head. All hand-carved in the late 1800s when smoking got very popular, we feel this antique originally was made as a smoking stand. In the home of a very well to do family, this top quality Black Forest novelty would be the perfect way to impress a guest. You too would be impressed at the sight of this sculptural bear table, especially, when the owner would hinge the bear's head and offer you one of his best cigars kept in the compartment inside. This very well balanced bear also stands as firm and strong as the day it was made, it has the most amazing patina and it could not be in better condition. On top you can place an ashtray, but also a bottle of wine or some glasses. The table top with its original, wooden screw thread can be taken off which also makes it safer to ship. Because of the top quality details and the unique and creative design, this rare antique carved out of solid nutwood probably originates from Brienz or one of the villages closeby. It looks beautiful in the daytime and in the evenings with maybe a candle on top, it creates an atmosphere that is second to none. Mind you, our fair price even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 31.5 x 15 x 14.5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by.
