Antique Black Forest Carved Wood Wall Plaque 32 Large Hunting Trophy Game Birds

  
Large antique 19th century Swiss Black Forest hand carved wood hunting trophy wall plaque, wonderful "Fruits of the Hunt" themed sculpture. Featuring a detailed still life of game birds suspended from a branch with leaves. All done in raised relief.

The figures are carved from solid wood and mounted on a shaped panel. Superb carving with excellent detail, in particular the beautiful multitude of feathers. Measures 32" height x 17 1/4" wide x 4 deep. Displays beautifully showing a nice warm patina.

Overall in good antique condition with general wear commensurate with age. The only flaw that I can see is an age gap in the wood on the top portion of the folded wing of the largest bird, I believe this area is called the covert feathers on the anatomy of a wing.

This is visible on the side views of the wall plaque. This gap is likely an age related separation of the seam on the wood, not a result of damage and is not noticeable when looking straight on at the sculpture. Welcome to the Antique Boutique.
