An unusual ‘Black Forest’ walnut eagle and chamois hall stand, modelled as an eagle perched in the bare branches of a tree sizing up a chamois below, with a shaped vine branch for enclosing walking sticks and a metal drip tray, the feathers and fur naturalistically carved, applied with glass eyes and a barometer below the eagle’s beak. Swiss, circa 1880.
Footnote: In Chapter 6 of ‘Swiss Carvings, The Art of the ‘Black Forest’ 1820-1940,’ Woodbridge 2005; Arenski, Daniels and Daniels show numerous similar hall stands featuring dogs and bears but none of this design.
