Antique Black Forest Bookcase or China Cabinet, Swiss, Late 1800's Part of Suite

About the Item

Black Forest bookcase, that was part of a major collection of Black Forest items sold by a Chateau outside of Marseille, France. There is a total of (42) antique Black Forest items that we have imported from the chateau and all will be listed on 1stdibs as soon as they can be photographed. Old Plank has been collecting and selling Black Forest furniture and Black Forest accessories for over 30-years and never have we witnessed a collection of Black Forest of this magnitude. Our 19th century Black Forest bookcase still retains its original wavy glass. Black Forest history began in Switzerland during the 1800’s and expanded with the increasing popular tourist trade. By the late 1800’s, the small animal carvings segued into full size furniture.
