It’s 23 in height, so not massive or overpowering; just a wonderful accent for your home or office, cabin or Country French decor. If you’ve followed us for a while you know I’m a big fan of the old hand carved “Black Forest” items that come to us from 19th century Switzerland, Germany, parts of France and Italy, where they pleased the Grand Tour tourists and still please us all today. These hand carved treasures range from whimsical small bears to large and elaborate mantel clocks, wall clocks, wall plaques showing the most awesome anatomical studies of stag, fowl, “fruits of the hunt”. I’ve got more to list so look through the vast collection. I’ve just used quite a few piece in our own 2nd home decoration , Rocky Mountains location, and love the look as well as the heritage since my own ancestors hail from that region and others. The pieces work well in Country Manor, French Country, Ski Lodge or Hunt Lodge and even in a den or office. Everything from a pocket watch case to huge plaques – from needle and thread holders to cigar caddy – these decorative objects survive today a testament to the artisan’s craft of carving wood. Very good condition overall. There is a repair to one wing, or perhaps it is just the joint of the old wood. You can evaluate it in our images. Likewise, an old repair to one leaf to the bottom right of screen as it faces you. Neither is distracting, but we want you to see them. The aneroid barometer has all hands and seems to be working. The thermometer is intact and is working, has a brass backing and would appear to be one that has gone in as a replacement at some point, though the age is right for the old carved casement. The curved shape is not so accurate for the carved rectangular area, however, as you can see, making me think it is a trade-out. Usually these late 1800s to very early 1900s ones had an opaline glass backing to the thermometer, just for accuracy. We’re easy to deal with. You are very important!
