About the Item

A masterful example of Swiss Black Forest craftsmanship, this c. 1900 linden wood hall tree is by the esteemed Seilar-Brawant workshop of Brienz. Towering in scale and rich in detail, it features a large bear standing at the base of a tree, gazing up at a cub perched in the upper branches. The naturalistic carving captures every nuance of the bears' fur and expressive faces, while the oval mirror is adorned with intricately carved oak leaves. Designed as both a functional and sculptural piece, the hall tree’s branches serve as hooks for coats and hats, while a ring at the base provides a place for umbrellas and walking sticks. Exemplifying the Seilar-Brawant workshop’s ability to blend artistry with utility, this hall tree is the epitome of the enduring legacy of Black Forest woodcarving—where nature’s beauty is transformed into an object of daily use.
