Large Antique Victorian Era Black Forest Wall Clock Frame w. Fruits of the Hunt
About the Item
Incredible size and great quality black forest hunting plaque for wall mounting.
This rare size and all hand-carved, solid nutwood game plaque from the second half of the 19th century is of amazing quality and beauty. If you look at the back (in image 10) then you can see that the outer part is completely carved out of one piece. If you look at the details in the carved hare and pheasant and the perfectly balanced composition of this Black Forest work of art then you will realize that this can only be the work of a German master carver. In this day and age you would struggle to find anyone in the world still capable of creating this kind of realistic sculptural art out of wood. Nowadays hunting by many is considered cruel, but you have to bear in mind that this work of hunting art was made in a time when meat was not as ready available as it is today and hunting simply was a way of getting meat/food on the table. This elaborate composition consisting of the hunting Horn surrounded by the hunting bag with tassels, the rifle and powder flask, the hunting rope, the oak leafs, the large hare and the pheasant is an absolute joy to look at. Not only because of the amazing workmanship, but also because of the wonderful patina and the incredible size. It must have taken the master carver weeks if not months to first draw and then perfectly carve this top quality plaque. This sculptural Black Forest antique started its life as a very large clock or barometer. It can again made to be either, but one could also turn this hunting sculpture into a wall mirror. Whatever you decide to use it for, this large and top quality Black Forest eyecatcher will never fail to impress.
