Large Baroque Carved Roe Deer Head, 19th Century

About the Item

Large Baoque Carved Roe Deer Head, 19th Century A large antique wooden carved Black Forest roe deer head handcarved in Baroque style and fitted with a real 6 pointer antler trophy. The head is mounted on a carved plate, decorated in brown and gold. A great individual piece which enhances every cabin wall decoration. Good condition with small restaurations, the beet in the mouth has been replaced. 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.
