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.

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...
