Antique Swiss Black Forest Wood Carving Humidor Standing Bear Glass Eyes Tree Trunk c1900. This is carved from wood by one of the master carvers of Brienz, Switzerland and dates to circa 1900. We see a figural standing bear on top of a simulated tree stump. The top of the stump opens toward the rear to reveal the tobacco storage. The bear has glass eyes. There is a rectangle on the bear’s left (your right) side which holds a box of matches. Marked on the underside with previous stock numbers. It measures 9 13/16″ tall, 5 1/4″ deep, and 3 3/4 wide. Very good used condition with great patina. This is an antique item which may show very mild signs of age wear, but currently shows no damage or repair.
