Pair Original Black Forest Carved Bear Armchairs
We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning and exceptionally rare pair of original hand carved in Black Forest wood very large Bear armchairs.
Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote, please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price.
A collectable and signature pair of art furniture armchairs. Black forest wood seating almost never comes up for sale, some single pieces fetch up to £50,000, they look amazing in any setting and really are the most wonderful conversation pieces
This pair are exceptional, they date to the early 20th century circa 1920, they are hand carved from solid slabs of black forest wood timber. Black forest wood gets its name from the darkness of the timber, this is due to the trees being naturally grown very closely, they are very tall meaning no light reaches the timber giving it this wonderful colour
This pair came to me in need of some sympathetic conservation, they had been coated is some kind of thick sticky dark wax which hid the natural colour and timber patina, we have painstakingly removed this substance to reveal the natural colour of the wood and grain. We have then very lightly wax sealed and hand polished them from top to bottom, the finished result is pretty much the best looking pair of these chairs you will ever find.
They have old repairs here and there, nothing you wouldn’t expect from 100+ year old chairs that are this large and heavy. There are no losses or structural issues whatsoever they are a very fine example.

Height 104cm
Width 71cm

Black Forest Carving History
In the 1800s the wood carving industry of Switzerland started in the town of Brienz. By the end of the 1800s it had become the driving force for this industry.
Swiss wood carvers became world renown and featured at many international exhibitions. Here is a shortlist of the major exhibitions Black Forest Carvings were spotlighted.
Great Exhibition, London (1851)
Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia (1876)
Chicago Worlds Fair, Chicago (1893)
Exposition Universelle, Paris (1900)
In Europe Black Forest carvings (wares) became a symbol of luxury and wealth. The finest pieces of Black Forest carving was often found in Royal collection and elite collector’s homes (usually Victorian world travellers).
During the 1800s-1900s popularity was also growing in many overseas markets. There was a high demand for these carving especially depicting American Wildlife. Here are some of the American animals that were highly sought after: Bears, Stags, Eagles, Boars and Dogs
Present Market
In the last 15 years this genre has seen some major changes. Specialty auctions and dealers have been popping up worldwide. Along with various books on the subject being published.
For the first time pieces showing up at auction are being attributed to Master Swiss carvers. The biggest misconception about Black Forest carvings is that they originated in Germany. However they are actually the creation of Swiss carvers.
