Antique Black Forest Antler Gun Rack from Austria

This lovely painted armoire still maintains the quality and details of the original hand-painted finish. The soft, gentle colors with delightful floral motifs are beautifully executed. Notice the four panels of flowers in the door against a traditional faux wood brown background. Striking in this armoire is the lovely landscape painting along the lower drawer. Impressive painting continues along the large canted sides while the date of 1834 and monogram of MM are seen under the crown. Note the Christogram, "IHS" painted between the iron key hole and decorative iron pull. Even the lock and key system (still functioning, 1 key included) speak to the high quality of the craftsmanship of this armoire. This original painted single door...

A black forest oversized carved oak coat and hat rack from the 19th century depicting stags with antlers and umbrella stand. Created during the 19th century, this stunning black forest rack captures our attention with its oversized proportions and skillful carvings. Our eyes are immediately drawn to the two stags facing away from one another and topped with very large antlers. Showcasing great finessed in their execution particularly visible on the details of their coat, they exude a majestic expression. They are alert, their ears raised up. Their necks are connected to one another through a central section carved with foliage and twisted rope motifs and topped with a sphere reminiscent of a regalia. These carved heads are resting on a central column with fluted and gadroon motifs, supporting additional antlers of smaller sizes. The lower part showcases an umbrella stand with brass ring, the ensemble being completed by oval container...

They were the true and internationally respected Dutch makers of top quality Black Forest style masterpieces. This coat rack is no exception. The beautifully carved walnut branches covered with leafs seem to have naturally grown over the oval mirror in the middle. The mirror, by the way, is purposely covered in soap so there are no reflections that could distract. The base section comes with the original iron, barley twisted ring looking like rope. This ring obviously serves as the umbrella holder above the removable zinc drip pan. This stand is also perfect for holding walking sticks or even rifles. The rim around the zinc pan is again beautifully carved in the shape of a woven basket. Finally, the top section around the central mirror comes with a total of 8 practical and perfectly carved hangers...
