$1,400

About

Crafted in France, circa 1870, this antique Black Forest wall panel presents a richly detailed hunting scene rendered in high relief and set within a geometric marquetry frame. The composition depicts hunters moving through tall grasses with their dogs, one figure carrying game over his shoulder while others traverse the landscape in pursuit. The foreground is animated with finely carved foliage, reeds, and birds in motion, while a line of trees and rolling terrain create depth across the background.
Executed in solid walnut, the carving showcases the expressive, slightly naïve character typical of Black Forest work, with strong dimensionality and crisp textural contrast between figures and landscape. The surrounding frame, with its subtle inlaid pattern, provides a refined architectural border that enhances the central tableau.
The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with a warm, rich walnut patina and minor surface wear consistent with time, adding to its authenticity and charm.
A striking decorative accent, ideal for a study, library, hunting lodge, or layered gallery wall.
Dimensions: 28.5″W x 22.5″H
