Large wooden sculpture from the Black Forest (Black Forest*) depicting a beautiful chamois or Alpine ibex standing on a pile of rocks and mountain vegetation, its gaze high and proud, its beautiful ringed horns curved backwards. 19th century.
This sculpture is in excellent overall condition and of superb quality. Its impressive size makes it highly decorative. It is a fine example of the high-end folk art from the Brienz region of Switzerland, showcasing the local wildlife.
Please note: some minor damage (a piece of a horn will need to be glued back on), a damaged and restored ear, cracks in the wood (especially on the terrace), wear and tear from age, please look carefully at the photos.
The carved wooden objects of the Black Forest did not originate in Germany but were made in the Brienz region of Switzerland. The tradition of woodworking is ancient in this area, and the inhabitants continue the practice of carving wood on house facades, furniture, and everyday objects. The carvers particularly excel at depicting wild animals in their natural habitat. In the 19th century, these naturalistic Black Forest carvings became very fashionable and highly prized.
