Wooden Carved Goat Head in Baroque Style, 19th Century

About the Item

Wooden Carved Goat Head in Baroque Style, 19th Century A lovely antique wooden carved Black Forest goat head handcarved in Baroque style and fitted with a real goat trophy. The head features great carving details and is decorated in light brown. Handcarved in Germany late 18th or early 19th century. A great individual piece which enhances every cabin wall decoration. Good condition with small restaurations. 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.
