A Black Forest lindenwood mountain dog stick stand

About the Item

A Black Forest lindenwood mountain dog stick stand, in the form of a shaggy dog standing on his hind legs holding a circle of twisted branches in his front paws, the base also of simulated branches enclosing a metal drip tray. Swiss, circa 1880. Footnote: For many years carved wooden pieces such as this were wrongly thought to have come from the Black Forest in Germany. However, we now know that a wide variety of carvings were actually produced in the Swiss Alps as extensively researched by Arenski, Daniels and Daniels. Chapter 6 in their publication, ‘Swiss Carvings, The Art of the ‘Black Forest’ 1820-1940’ Woodbridge 2005, is dedicated to hallstands, those featuring similar dogs can be found on pages 101, 173 and 177.
