Linden Wood Black Forest Bear Hall Tree, circa 1900 Attributed to Seilar-Brawant

About the Item

An excellent example of turn of the century Brienz Swiss carving in linden wood. There are many Swiss carvers well known for carving certain subjects and Seilar-Brawant is known for bears. Standing at over six feet in height with a lovely beveled mirror, 12 hooks and typical ring for cane and umbrella storage. Both bears have lovely glass eyes and the large bear still retains much of the coloring of the mouth, teeth and nose. A similar example attributed to Seilar-Brawant can be seen in the book "Swiss Carvings: The Art of the "Black Forest" by Daniels and Arenski.
