Hand-carved in the style of Black Forest, this oval French from the 1800s depicts a pair of recently felled birds suspended from a partial branch by a crinkle ribbon bow. The birds are wonderfully detailed, with visible plumage, and are surrounded by curled leaves and vines with berries. The trompe l’oeil background mimics the bark of a tree and is an exceptional rendering.
CONDITION: Good antique condition. Minor nicks and losses. Rigged for hanging. Professional restoration to a small portion of the crinkle bow ribbon.
