Black Forest Hand Carved Switzerland Pair of End Tables Marble Tops, circa 1800s

About the Item

Pair of black forest hand-carved end tables or side tables with marble tops that were made in Switzerland during the late 1800s. Finding one piece of black forest is difficult enough, but locating a pair is unusual to say the least. The history of black forest carvings dates to the early 1800s originating in the town of Brienz, Switzerland. Original black forest carvings began as a cottage industry and found a niche market with the local tourist trade in Switzerland. Old plank has recently discovered a treasure trove of black forest carved furniture from a Chateau just outside of Marseille, France. The owner of the Chateau was obsessed with Black Forest Furniture and amassed a collection of over (40) pieces of Black Forest Furniture. In the coming weeks, you will see a number of incredible black forest furniture, lighting, shelves, consoles items, many made in pairs and all will be offered on 1stdibs.
