The mother bear on this delightful Black Forest hall stand is not happy with her mischievous cubs who have climbed just out of her reach. A work of naturalistic artistry and great humor, this stand boasts incredible intricacy, as each glass-eyed bear is finely carved and beautifully illustrates the best of the Black Forest style.
The exciting Black Forest movement is known for deftly incorporating lifelike flora and fauna of the forest into items such as benches, hall trees and chairs as well as smaller items like clocks, wall hangings and other objets d'art. Expertly detailed, this stand is a superior illustration of this fine art. A very similar stand is pictured in Black Forest Bears: Swiss Wood Carvings 1870-1920.
