Antique Early 1900s Black Forest Bear

Antique early 1900s tiny Black Forest folk art bear sculpture

This charming bear sculpture was traditionally hand carved from a single piece of linden wood in the Black Forest region of Germany. It is a fine example of the masterful folk craftsmanship the area became renowned for, featuring beautifully rendered details and a strong sense of character.

A piece like this would make a striking addition to any antique collection or cabinet of curiosities – a true conversation starter with historic appeal.

After more than a century, the carving shows only light signs of wear. The gentle patina it has developed over time enhances its charm and authenticity. Please note that one of the bear’s paws was broken in the past and professionally glued back together, which is visible on the underside.
