  • Sculptural Antique Wooden Carved Black Forest Baroque Deer Head
    Located in Berghuelen, DE
    Sculptural Antique Wooden Carved Black Forest Baroque Deer Head An antique wooden carved Black Forest baroque deer head. Carved in typical abstract style of the 18th century. It features a large real deer antler trophy and rests of its original gilded finish. A great individual piece which enhances every wall decoration.

Famous artists to be named are Madl in Ichenhausen, Germany and Heissl in Ebensee, Austria. Around 1900, the antler collection...
