About the Item

Black Forest Carved Hare Whip Holder or Wall Hook ca. 1900s A handcarved cabin decor style coat hook or whip holder showing a hare with a gun. The hooks are made from genuine chamois horns. Handcarved in Brienz, Switzerland around 1900. The tradition of wood carving in Brienz dates back to mid of the 19th century. People in the region were looking for new employment opportunities. They used their skills from traditional crafts, carving everyday objects and sculptures, and created a new business. Many woodcarvers where trained in the 'School of Wood Carving, Brienz' which was established in 1884. Around 1900 the woodcarving industry counted ca. 2000 woodcarvers. Brienz woodcarvings were presented on several worlds fairs with great success.
