Antique & Large Black Forest Gun / Rifle Rack w. Hand Carved Deer Head Sculpture

About the Item

Large and impressive Black Forest rack for hunting guns, circa 1870-1890. If you are looking for the perfect antique to decorate one of the walls in your hunting room, home office or library then this unique gun rack could be flying your way soon. This very large rack for wall mounting is entirely hand-crafted and hand carved out of solid oak. The strong and integrated metal hook in the back (see image 12) makes it very easy to safely mount this large work of hunting art on your wall. The gilt bronze ornaments on either side are beautifully handcrafted, but what makes this piece really stand out is ofcourse the hunting trophy like deer sculpture on top. Have you also noticed the stunning, hand carved hunting horn around the deer's neck? In image 11 you can see how this one of a kind antique was hand-crafted with a technique that had been around since the middle ages, using wooden pen and hole connections. If you can already see this remarkable and sculptural antique on your wall with some of your favourite rifles on display then maybe you should be its next custodian. Our fair price even includes perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 76.3 x 35 x 15.5 inches. Height from the bottom of the rifle holders to the top of the wooden bracket that holds the rifle barrels: 44.3 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

    Additions or alterations made to the original: We believe that the bracket holding the butts of your guns has at some point in time been lowered slightly.

  • Antique, Rare and Large Hand Carved Black Forest Flying Eagle Pendant Chandelier
    Located in Lisse, NL
    A stunning, four-light eagle pendant for the collectors of only the rarest Black Forest antiques. If you are a serious and lifelong collector of Black Forest antiques or even if you are the curator of a museum owning rare Black Forest pieces then the chance of you owning a large Black Forest chandelier like this still is very small. This, over three feet wide, eagle chandelier is the kind of Black Forest antique that you normally only find in books. For us to have been given the opportunity to purchase it from a German family of (former) nobles was an honor. The older lady we purchased it from had known it all her life, but she was moving to a much smaller home and she had no family members interested in antiques. This majestic eagle with both claws is holding a perfectly hand carved branch and from each of the four side branches grows a hand crafted, blackened metal, flower lampshade. The large size of this eagle, his perfect body posture, his excellent and warm patina and the great details really make this well balanced sculpture a marvelous antique to own, to use and to look at. The way in which this fierce predator is sticking out its neck and scanning the area with its piercing eyes is something that only a true master carver is capable of creating. To us, this unique and sculptural Black Forest chandelier is the perfect center piece for a hunting lodge or for a Black Forest collector's 'treasure trove' or 'inner sanctum'. We can also see it grace the entry hall of a museum. If you can imagine how this work of art chandelier would look over your large antique desk...
