Lovely Antique Black Forest Deer Head ca. 1900s

Description: machhtml Lovely Antique Black Forest Deer Head ca. 1900s e6950 A lovely wooden Black Forest deer head made of plaster and wood. Handmade in folk art style around 1900. It features a real deer horn trophy. A great individual piece which enhances every wall decoration. Good condition with some abreasions and partly paint restaurations. A special way to present hunting trophies is to attach them to carved animal heads. This tradition exists since the Middle Ages. Even after intensive investigations, it is not yet possible to explain exactly how this happened. The carved heads are often colored and mounted on cartouches that are also carved and painted. They follow a naturalistic representation and one could think that in this way they are symbolically brought back from the abstraction of dead antlers into liveliness. Famous artists to be named are Madl in Ichenhausen, Germany and Heissl in Ebensee, Austria. Around 1900, the antler collection at the Palace of Arco-Zinneberg was an epitome for any lover of this art. artfour is an owner-managed trading company that sells Black Forest wood carvings, antler furniture and an impressive variety of unique decorative items.
