History of Black Forest. In the 1800s the wood carving industry of Switzerland started in the town of Brienz. By the end of the 1800s it had become the driving force for this industry. Swiss wood carvers became world renown and featured at many international exhibitions. Black Forest Carvings were spotlighted.

* Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia (1876)
* Chicago Worlds Fair, Chicago (1893)
* Exposition Universelle, Paris (1900)
In Europe Black Forest carvings (wares) became a symbol of luxury and wealth. The finest pieces of Black Forest carving were often found in Royal collection and elite collectors homes (usually Victorian world travellers).
During the 1800-1900s popularity was also growing in many overseas markets. There was a high demand for these carving especially depicting American Wildlife.
This Mirror is of superior quality and remains in original condition, an absolutely wonderful piece of Black Forest History.
