20th century, Black Forest Brienz Hand Carved Wood bench with Bears

About the Item

20th century, Black Forest Brienz Hand Carved Wood bench with Bears This particular bench, made of wood carved in the twentieth century, is an artifact from the city of Brienz in Switzerland. The type of artifact is called "Black Forest", from the area located in southwestern Germany in the state of Baden-Württemberg. By the end of the 19th century, the wood carvings with subjects recalling the wildlife and flora of the Black Forest woods, made by the skilled carvers of Brienz, had become much in demand and appreciated and became a sign of wealth and luxury. Some objects of the Black Forest are preserved in royal collections or in the houses of great collectors. Quickly, the charm of these wooden sculptures spread to America, where they received a strong demand. This bench consists of a seat with armrests and backrest carved in the shape of trunks and tree branches intertwined with each other, phytomorphic elements and in the center of the backrest the figure of a brown bear that with its front legs grabs two branches. Two large bears in an upright position with their front legs supporting the seat, turning their snouts forward. The bench is very decorative and suitable for modern or rustic environments, mountain or country, or to be placed in terraces and gardens overlooking the green. It can also be designed for a tavern, a hall or a porch. It preserves and testifies the charm that the enchanting environment of the Black Forest exerts on man, already appreciated in ancient times.

18th Century, Pair of Italian Rococò Carved Giltwood Benches

Located in IT

18th Century, pair of Italian Rococo carved giltwood benches. This elegant pair of two-seater benches was built in the second half of the 18th century in Rome, Italy. The structure, in richly carved and gilded wood, has the characteristics of the Baroque period. The band under the seat has a mixed profile and is carved with rocaille motifs and rich floral decoration in relief in the central part. The four legs, curved and moved, have on the uprights the same carvings and in the terminal part of the foot emerges a scroll. The rear uprights, carved with curled end, are higher than the seat, in order to slender the image of the benches vertically. The seat is lined with velvet from a later period. These benches can be exhibited in pairs or individually in entrances or corridors, in living rooms and studios or in a room at the foot of the bed. They can also be placed below large paintings. Very decorative, bright and graceful, they are suitable both in contexts characterized by antique and modern furniture.
