About this item
A Superb Black Forest Inkwell. A beautifully detailed hand carved linden wood inkwell, depicting a walnut or pumpkin, all mounted on a beautifully carved plate with leaf and intertwined branches design. C1860
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).
This delightful inkwell in in fantastic condition, would make a great addition to any collection.
