A beautiful example of hand carved Black Forest work from the Victorian era, circa 1900. The tobacco box is carved in the shape of a terrier’s head with a bow tie and upturned collar. He is wearing a hat, which is also the lid of the box. Very beautiful glass eyes are also incorporated. The tradition of wood carving, using manual skills to make everyday objects and fine art sculptures, is found throughout Europe. The incentive to create not only useful but also aesthetically beautiful things, distinguishes the craftsman from the artist. In addition to the well-known Swiss wood carving artists, others can also be named in Italy / Tyrol with Steiner, in Germany with Madel and in Austria with Heissl. Their wood-carving art works with sculptures, wall plaques and reliefs enhance any interior design. artfour is an owner-managed trading company dealing in Black Forest woodcarvings, antler furniture and an impressive variety of unique decorative items.
