Large Antique Black Forest Owl Sculpture Book Rack with Sliding Owl Bookends
About the Item
All hand-carved and adjustable Black Forest books rack.
This rare and magnificently carved bookstand dates from circa 1880 and it is in truly excellent condition. The details in the carving and also the fact that virtually every inch is carved show this is the work of a master carver. Apart from one minor chip of a leaf there are no chips or restaurations to be found. This antique is as original and beautiful as one could hope to find. The top-quality carved owls come with the original and piercing glass eyes and it is very likely that this stunning bookstand originates from Brienz, Switzerland. A rare collectors item and great value for money. Especially when taking into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary.
Width x height x depth: 20.5 x 9 x 8.25 inches.
Width when fully opened: 31.5 inches.
