Skip to product information
Step back in time with this exquisite piece of European craftsmanship. This hand-carved wall-mounted clothes brush set is a quintessential example of Black Forest (Schwarzwald) folk art. Carved from a single piece of dense, high-quality wood, it showcases the mastery of traditional woodcarving that made the German and Alpine regions world-famous in the late 19th century.
Design & Craftsmanship: The centerpiece features a stunning arrangement of classic foliate scrolls and architectural flourishes. The depth of the carving creates a beautiful play of light and shadow, highlighting the rich, warm patina of the aged wood. What makes this set truly special are the original brushes still held in place by their authentic embroidered textile straps. These straps feature traditional folk patterns that have remained remarkably vibrant over the decades.
Condition Report: The set is in excellent antique condition, especially considering its age and delicate carvings. It has been well-preserved in a private collection. To be perfectly transparent: there is a minute, singular chip located in the upper central part of the carving shown in the last photo . This is a very minor historic blemish that does not detract from the overall aesthetic or structural integrity; rather, it serves as a testament to its authentic antique nature and century-long history.
Dimensions:
Total Height: 36 cm (14.2 inches)
Width (Top): 26 cm (10.2 inches)
Width (Bottom): 24.5 cm (9.6 inches)
Why Choose This Piece? Whether you are a collector of Black Forest carvings, an enthusiast of Dark Academia decor, or simply looking for a unique statement piece for your entryway, this set offers both functionality and timeless beauty. It is a rare find in such a complete state, with both brushes and original textiles intact.
