Swiss Black Forest Carved & Lacquered Bear Statue
About the Item
A fine quality antique Swiss Black Forest ware, born in the early 20th century, exquisitely hand carved, lacquered wooden bear figure. The exceptionally executed naturalistic sculpture appears to capture the bear in motion, standing on two feet, stepping forward with arms raised and paws ready, mid-roar with mouth open and teeth exposed. Traditional inset glass eyes, the face having strong depth and character, so life-like the bear looks to be expressing emotion. The wonderful detailing continues throughout.
A wonderful example of Black Forest Folk Art, with craftsmanship and detailing second to none.
