Antique Wooden Carved Black Forest Baroque Stag Head with 12 Point Trophy

About the Item

Antique Wooden Carved Black Forest Baroque Stag Head with 12 Point Trophy A large antique Black Forest Baroque stag head. Carved in typical abstract style of the early 18th century. It is mounted on a wooden carved and painted plaque and features an uneven 12 pointer stag horn trophy. The head still has its original polychrome painted finish which is partly restored. A distinctive independent piece that enhances any wall decor. A small piece of wood on the plaque is broken off - see pictures for a detailed view. A special way to present hunting trophies is to attach them to carved animal heads. This tradition exists since the Middle Ages. Even after intensive investigations, it is not yet possible to explain exactly how this happened. The carved heads are often colored and mounted on cartouches that are also carved and painted. They follow a naturalistic representation and one could think that in this way they are symbolically brought back from the abstraction of dead antlers into liveliness. Famous artists to be named are Madl in Ichenhausen, Germany and Heissl in Ebensee, Austria. Around 1900, the antler collection at the Palace of Arco-Zinneberg was an epitome for any lover of this art. artfour is an owner-operated trading company dealing in Black Forest woodcarvings, antler furniture and an impressive variety of unique decorative items.
