About the Item

A striking blend of naturalism and ceremony, this late 19th to early 20th century German hunting trophy features a life-size grouse, cast in full dimension and silver-plated to gleam with quiet dignity. The bird hangs upside down by its feet, suspended from a silver-plated string and knob, just as it might have been carried home from the field. Mounted on an oval walnut plaque with an ebonized edge, it calls to mind the deep woods, the crack of a shotgun, and the rituals of the hunt. In the grand tradition of European hunting lodges, such trophies weren’t just displays of sport—they were tributes to nature, moments frozen in time, and emblems of a gentleman’s life lived close to the land. Silver-plated examples like this were rare then and rarer now—elevated from mere game to something sculptural, storied, and quietly proud. A haunting, beautiful piece with real presence.

Early 20th Century Flemish Spaniel Pyrography Panel
Located in Chicago, IL
This early 20th-century Flemish low-relief panel showcases the exquisite artistry of pyrography, a technique where designs are burned into wood using a heated tool. Here, two hunting spaniels adorned with studded collars and leashes are meticulously rendered, their lively expressions captured with remarkable detail. Surrounding them is an intricately carved Art Nouveau style frame, adding an extra layer of elegance to the composition. During the latter part of the 19th and early 20th centuries, pyrography experienced a surge in popularity, particularly in Europe and America. Its appeal lay in the ability to create intricate designs with depth and texture, resembling fine etchings or engravings. Pyrography was often employed to decorate furniture, household items, and decorative panels like this one, serving as both functional art and a testament to the skill of the craftsman. Today, pieces like this Flemish panel...
