About the Item
A Fine Pair of Black Forest Carved Walnut Bookends, Circa 1900
This decorative and rare pair of black forest walnut bookends are carved in solid walnut each from one piece of rich dense timber in the form of two 18th century rural musicians. They are both similarly dressed in working clothes from the black forest region of this time with a jacket, waistcoat plus fours, wooden clogs and a wide brimmed hat. One is playing a simple bagpipe instrument and the other is a wooden horn. They are both seated and behind them forming the book rest is a carved stone wall. The quality of carving tin these pieces is very good with well defined faces and hair and good detail to the hands and fingers. A most pleasing and useful pair of book ends with a good rich colour and patination, circa 1900.

The second figure in this remarkable pair is a flower girl who is also dressed in a typical period style, and she is carrying an assortment of woven baskets that are full of cut flowers.

He is dressed simply in a robe. On his back, he has a rolled woven mat for resting and a turtle shell sun hat hangs below. On his side hanging from his waist sash, there is a simple hand fan made from woven palm leaves and around his neck, he is wearing a string of very large beads. This unfortunate character is on a journey and he seems to have lost or broken one sandal. His foot is sore and he is resting it on his gnarly walking stick. He has one arm outstretched and is holding out a large piece of fresh fruit as an offering perhaps to barter for new sandals...Category
