  • Sculptural Antique Wooden Carved Black Forest Baroque Deer Head
    Located in Berghuelen, DE
    Sculptural Antique Wooden Carved Black Forest Baroque Deer Head An antique wooden carved Black Forest baroque deer head. Carved in typical abstract style of the 18th century.

Famous artists to be named are Madl in Ichenhausen, Germany and Heissl in Ebensee, Austria. Around 1900, the antler collection...
