Antique early 1900s Swiss miniature carving of the Löwendenkmal monument.
This small wooden sculpture depicts the famous Löwendenkmal, the monument of the dying lion located in the Swiss city of Lucerne.

This sculpture is a finely carved miniature version, made with the craftsmanship that the Alpine and Black Forest carving tradition became world famous for.
It would make the perfect addition to any Black Forest collection or cabinet of curiosities.

Antique 19th century Black Forest sculpture
This charming sculpture was traditionally hand carved from a single piece of wood in the Black Forest region. It is a wonderful example of the masterful craftsmanship for which this area became renowned, depicting a fox in a woodland setting with beautifully rendered details and a strong sense of character. The piece also features two hollow tree trunks that can be used to store small utensils or other items.
A piece like this would make a striking addition to any collection or cabinet of curiosities – a true conversation starter with historic appeal.
After more than a century, the carving shows clear signs of age and wear. In my opinion, the distressed patina it has developed over time only enhances its charm and authenticity. Over the years, some of the edges of the larger tree trunk have sustained some damage. It also shows some old woodworm holes, for which it has been properly treated.
