About the Item

Antique Swiss Black Forest bookends, larger and better carved than average. Finding antique Black Forest works of art always feels like a blessing. Especially when they involve bear sculptures, because they have always been the most sought after. This decorative bookstand with sliding and folding bear bookends is in excellent condition. And what makes this antique extra special is that the larger than average bears are actually sitting on books and they are reading books as well. This near mint, Swiss antique also is more special, because it is entirely hand carved out of the more beautiful and more expensive nutwood. And over the many decades this striking nutwood has also grown a marvelous patina. There is one old and professional restauration / re-inforcement at the underside (see images 18 & 19), but on top this antique stand could hardly be in better condition. It opens and closes perfectly and it will make a great desk or table piece for any (aspiring) Black Forest or bear enthousiast. With books and bookends also representing the collecting of knowledge and gaining wisdom, this top quality antique also makes an inspiring gift for a student (of life) or for a teacher, professor, but basically for anyone. This rare, artistic and superb condition antique bookstand certainly is great value for money. Especially when taking into account that perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 3 to 6 days are complimentary. Width x height x depth: 16.9 x 7.7 x 7.5 inches. Maximum width when entirely opened: 25 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for the best craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1500+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
