Pair 19th century Carved Black Forest Game Trophy Wall Plaque Swiss Pheasant Owl
A matched pair of large Black Forest hanging game plaques. Beautifully detailed hand carvings, with intertwined oak leaves, vines, and acorns, surroundeing the artfully and naturalistically carved birds.
Large dimensionally carved owl and other fowl, with wings spread across the plaques…note the carved feathers, feet, eyes and beaks!
More carvings of hunting accouterments, including rifle, hunt horn, and bag.
These sculptures were typically hung on the wall as trophies in the 18th & 19th century. (Note the carvings are attached to the oval backs, so they could be removed from the backs, if so desired).
