A Superb Pair of Black Forest Trophy Plaques. Beautifully detailed hand carvings, with a carved dogs head and game bag, and a blood hound with a hunting horn & acorns, all mounted on a beautifully carved shield. C1880
History of Black Forest. In the 1800’s the wood carving industry of Switzerland started in the town of Brienz. By the end of the 1800’s it had become the driving force for this industry. Swiss wood carvers became world renown and featured at many international exhibitions. 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 collector’s homes (usually Victorian world travellers).
These sculptures were typically hung on the wall as trophies in the 18th & 19th century. This is an exceptional pair of trophies in lovely original condition.
