Early 20th Century Black Forest Oak Leaf Framed Mirror










Early 20th Century Black Forest Oak Leaf Framed Mirror
A striking example of early 20th-century Swiss craftsmanship, this hand-carved wooden mirror draws inspiration from the rich traditions of Black Forest carving. Originating in the Alpine regions of Germany and Switzerland, Black Forest artisans were known for their intricate woodwork, often depicting woodland motifs with remarkable depth and realism. This mirror carries that legacy forward, with its deeply carved frame of twisting oak branches, lush foliage, and abundant acorns—symbols of strength and longevity. The back is engraved with a signature and dated 1922, marking it as a singular work of art. A warm, timeworn patina enhances the depth of its carving, giving it a richness that only age can bestow. Scaled to hang beautifully over an entry console, in a bedroom, or anywhere a touch of nature’s grandeur is welcome, this mirror is both a functional piece and a celebration of the storied artistry that has made Black Forest-style carvings so enduring.
