Black forest carved wall shelf in Lindenwood, with a central carved stag on a shaped plaque with carved oak leaves and tassels, below a shaped and molded shelf, Brienz, Switzerland, ca. 1880. Jay Arenski, et al, quotes Swiss Poet Heinrich Federer, who said in his memoirs, "Woodcarving brought riches to the village [of Brienz]. It became all the fashion and no Englishman left the Bernese Highlands without having seen the Giessbach, having eaten a fat roasted eel, and having bought a Brienz woodcarving." Arenski goes on to say, "Thus, as the tourist industry flourished and thrived, so did the carvers, selling their wares to the well-heeled visitors."

Pair of Minton Majolica Wall Brackets, Modeled as a Girl and Boy Baby Merchildren, each wearing a wreath of bullrushes and wrapped in fishing nets against clumps of green glazed rushes. Impressed marks to reverse include the letter 'M' and Minton date cipher for 1859. In Susan Weber's three-volume tome, MAJOLICA MANIA, recently published by Yale University Press, Martin Levy discusses Royal Patronage of Minton majolica: "Though many of the items ordered by the queen and prince consort in the late 1850s have been dispersed, surviving examples in the Royal Collection include...a pair of wall brackets, each in the form of a merchild wrapped in fishing net, which was given to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert for her birthday in 1858." Additionally, Weber includes a photo from 2019 of an interior scene of the Royal Dairy at Windsor, which clearly shows the female bracket installed to the wall.* For 30 years we have been among the world's preeminent specialists in the finest antique majolica.
