Imperial Antiques

Description

A charming and characterful set of five antique Black Forest carved wood figures, each depicting a musician playing a different instrument and standing atop a carved wooden barrel. Originating from the renowned wood carving region of the Black Forest in Germany and Switzerland, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, these figures are a delightful example of folk art.

The set includes musicians playing: a clarinet (or similar woodwind), a violin, a conductor with a raised baton, a tambourine, and a flute (or recorder). Each figure is intricately carved with attention to detail in their attire and the instruments they hold. The use of contrasting light and dark wood, achieved through staining or the use of different wood types, highlights the features and adds visual interest.
