A Swiss Black Forest hand carved limewood study of a St Bernard Mountain rescue dog.

This very pleasing and beautifully hand carved small black forest lime wood study is of a seated St. Bernard Mountain rescue dog with a collar and small wooden brandy barrel around his neck.

These massive dogs with their thick warm coats were trained to go into the mountains and remote areas to find walkers and climbers lost or injured. They carried the barrel flask to help revive the unfortunate and were trained to bark to draw attention to the location to aid the rescue team.

This very pleasing study is in excellent condition with a lovely rich colour and patina.
Swiss, circa 1920

Height 8.5cm x width 8cm x depth 5cm
