  • Antique Black Forest Matched Pair of Bookcases, Original Wavy Glass, c1800's
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Matched pair of Black Forest bookcases, that were part of a major collection of Black Forest items sold by a Chateau outside or Marseille, France. There were (42) antique Black Forest items in the chateau and we were fortunate enough to purchase the entire collection. 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. We’ve never even seen a pair of matched 19th century Black Forest bookcases, let alone with their original wavy glass still intact. Black Forest history, which actually began in Switzerland during the 1800’s and grew with the increasing tourist trade. Seemed that everyone loved their rustic and whimsical carvings...
