Description from the seller

Black Forest Carved Music
Stand / Lecturn
Very rare Black Forest telescoping ADJUSTABLE music
stand or lecturn with carved acorns, grape clusters and oak leaf designs


*Do you know where Black Forest carving began? Chances are you’re thinking of the Bavarian Black Forest in South-West Germany, however it has been established that it all started with a humble cottage industry of Swiss cavers in the town of Brienz. By the end of the 1800’s the town had become the major employer of an entire skilled community.
The woodcraft is known for its highly detailed carvings of clocks, animals, people, and plaques, often in a whimsical or romantic style. Swiss wood carvers became world renown and featured at many international exhibitions including the 1851 London Great Exhibition, Philadelphia in 1876, the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and in Paris in 1900
